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?

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

Caleb Azumah Nelson is a British-Ghanaian writer and photographer living in South East London. His first novel, OPEN WATER, won the Costa First Novel Award and Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards, and was a number-one Times bestseller. It was also shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, Waterstones Book of the Year, and longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and the Desmond Elliott Prize. He was selected as a National Book Foundation '5 under 35' honoree by Brit Bennett.
The one thing that can solve Stephen's problems is dancing. Dancing at Church, with his parents and brother, the shimmer of Black hands raised in praise; he might have lost his faith, but he does believe in rhythm. Dancing with his friends, somewhere in a basement with the drums about to drop, while the DJ spins garage cuts. Dancing with his band, making music which speaks not just to the hardships of their lives, but the joys too. Dancing with his best friend Adeline, two-stepping around the living room, crooning and grooving, so close their heads might touch. Dancing alone, at home, to his father's records, uncovering parts of a man he has never truly known.
Stephen has only ever known himself in song. But what becomes of him when the music fades? When his father begins to speak of shame and sacrifice, when his home is no longer his own? How will he find space for himself: a place where he can feel beautiful, a place he might feel free?
Set over the course of three summers in Stephen's life, from London to Ghana and back again, Small Worlds is an exhilarating and expansive novel about the worlds we build for ourselves, the worlds we live, dance and love within.
