A woman whose hair holds the fate of her community is lured by European colonisers determined to possess it. A grieving man finds hope in the reincarnation of a lost love. A young woman risks everything to escape a human loan scheme. Across Africa and its diaspora, these are stories of sacrifice, love, freedom, loss and self-discovery. Spanning literary fiction, speculative fiction, noir, mystery, political thrillers and experimental storytelling, this vibrant anthology brings together some of the most exciting voices in contemporary African writing. Richly imagined and stylistically diverse, the stories explore fate, memory, identity and the complexities of human relationships.
