S. I. Martin

In the years just after the American revolution, London was the unlikely refuge for thousands of black Americans who fought for liberty on the side of the British. 
 
Buckram, Georgie and William have earned their freedom and escaped their American oppressors, but on the streets of London, poverty awaits with equal cruelty. 
 
Ruthless, chaotic and endlessly evolving, London forces them into a life of crime, and a life on the margins. Their only hope for a better future is to concoct a scheme so daring, it will be a miracle if it pays off. 
 
Pulsating with energy and vivid detail, Incomparable World boldly uncovers a long-buried narrative of black Britain.

Incomparable World

A collection of rediscovered works celebrating Black Britain curated by Booker Prize-winner Bernardine Evaristo

Judith Bryan

When Anita finally returns to London after a long absence, everything has changed. 
 
Her father is dead, her mother has disappeared, and she and her sister Beth are alone together for the first time in years. 
 
 They share a house. They share a family. They share a past. 
 
 Tentatively, they reach out to one another for connection, but the house echoes with words unspoken. Can they confront the pain of the past together? 
 
 Dazzling and heart-breaking, Bernard and the Cloth Monkey is a shattering portrait of family, a rebellion against silence and a testament to the human capacity for survival.

Bernard and the Cloth Monkey

Mike Phillips

University lecturer Gus knows that stealing the priceless Benin mask, The Dancing Face, from a museum at the heart of the British establishment will gain an avalanche of attention. 
 
Which is exactly what he wants. 
 
But such a risky theft will also inevitably capture the attention of characters with more money, more power, and fewer morals. 
 
Naively entangling his loved ones in his increasingly dangerous pursuit of righteous reparation, is Gus prepared for what it will cost him?

The Dancing Face

Jacqueline Roy

It is the 1990s, and Gloria is living in a London psychiatric ward. She is unapologetically loud, audacious and eternally on the brink of bursting into song. After several months of uninterrupted routine, she is joined by another young black woman - Merle - who is full of silences and fear. 
 
Unable to confide in their doctors, they agree to journal their pasts. Whispered into tape recorders and scrawled ferociously at night, the remarkable stories of their lives are revealed. 
 
In this tender, deeply-moving depiction of mental health, Roy creates a striking portrait of two women finding strength in their shared vulnerability, as they navigate a system that fails to protect them. Life-affirming and fearlessly hopeful, this is an unforgettable story.
