DIECI ROMANZI PIÙ VENDUTI DEL SUNDAY TIMES Ballare è l'unica cosa che può risolvere i problemi di Stephen. In chiesa con la sua famiglia, lo scintillio delle mani nere alzate in lode. Con la sua band, fare musica che parla non solo delle loro difficoltà, ma anche delle loro gioie. Ballare con il suo migliore amico, così vicino che le loro teste potrebbero toccarsi. Ballare da solo sui dischi di suo padre, scoprendo parti di un uomo che non ha mai veramente conosciuto. La sua giovinezza, la sua vergogna e il suo sacrificio. Stephen ha sempre conosciuto se stesso solo attraverso le canzoni. Ma cosa ne sarà di lui quando la musica svanirà? Ambientato nel corso di tre estati, da South London al Ghana e ritorno, SMALL WORLDS è un romanzo sui mondi che costruiamo per noi stessi. I mondi in cui viviamo, balliamo e amiamo. ***** 'Il sorprendente secondo romanzo di Caleb Azumah Nelson conferma il suo status di star letteraria' Observer 'Bellissimo, indimenticabile e totalizzante' Candice Carty-Williams, autrice di Queenie ' SMALL WORLDS è un libro per tutti. . . una sinfonia edificante di una lettura estiva' Times

Dancing with his friends, somewhere in a basement with the drums about to drop, while the DJ spins garage cuts.
