“Miss struggles to curl her tongue around every syllable of the name my father so proudly gave me. Say it!”
Tobi and Jay, the only two Africans in the class, are lambs to the slaughter.
Newly arrived to England, Sheffield, they are forced to navigate a new life alongside the quiet ache of home. As they struggle to hold onto their names, and themselves, they find connection in unexpected places and in the bonds they form with one another.
