Such a Fun Age

Bloomsbury presents Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, read by Nicole Lewis. 'Essential. This year's hit debut' – Guardian 'A biting tale of race and class' – Sunday Times 'I couldn't put this down' – Jojo Moyes _______________ The instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Longlisted for the Booker Prize A Times, Guardian, Sunday Times, Telegraph, Mail on Sunday, Red, Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan Book of the Year _______________ When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for 'kidnapping' the white child she's actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right. But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix's desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know – about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege. _______________ 'Bites into the zeitgeist then spits it out with gusto. You really should read it, ASAP' – Stylist 'About power dynamics, race, social commentary, and also why and how we are the woman we are' – Pandora Sykes 'An extraordinarily deft debut, written with wisdom, kindness and sharp humour' – Daily Mail 'A beautiful tale of how we live now' – Elizabeth Day _______________ A Reese Witherspoon and Zoella Book Club Pick
