Love After Love

ONE OF STYLIST'S BEST NEW BOOKS FOR 2020

Meet the Ramdin-Chetan family: forged through loneliness, broken by secrets, saved by love.

Irrepressible Betty Ramdin, her shy son Solo and their marvellous lodger, Mr Chetan, form an unconventional household, happy in their differences, as they build a home together. Home: the place where your navel string is buried, keeping these three safe from an increasingly dangerous world. Happy and loving they are, until the night when a glass of rum, a heart to heart and a terrible truth explodes the family unit, driving them apart.

Brave and brilliant, steeped in affection, Love After Love asks us to consider what happens at the very brink of human forgiveness, and offers hope to anyone who has loved and lost and has yet to find their way back.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It made me ugly cry." (Jessie Burton)

"Glorious." (Rachel Joyce)

"Spellbinding." (André Aciman)

Gripping!

a tale of life love and tragedy set in Trinidad. Simply an Awesom read.

Great book!

This was a great book. The storyline; with the patios and authenticity of the Caribbean culture made it feel very real

A Brilliant Piece of Caribbean Literature

Engaging from beginning to end. Relevant. Timely. Beautiful. Bittersweet. Persuad gives life to her characters in a way that is reminiscent of V.S. Naipaul and equal to the likes of Chimamanda Adiche and Zadie Smith. "Love After Love" is a classic to be sure. 10/10.

dis is story ...

...what a wonderful Caribbean story, told in our voice, littered with all the things (big and little) that make us who we are. This is your next weekend read/listen. Enjoy!
