Open Water - Caleb Azumah Nelson

Winner of the Costa First Novel Award and longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize!

Perfectly paced, elegant writing that will have you re-reading lines for more nourishment!

This is a love story opening up wounds of masculinity, race and the feeling of being ‘othered’.
The standard boy meets girl in a pub is familiar, but the second person exploration of communication breakdowns and the battle to ‘be seen’ feels fresh and newly considered. We loved this one - and we got the bonus of meeting Caleb in the shop too. Grab a signed copy while stock lasts!
