Big Girl: A BBC Radio Two Book Club Pick. 'Absolutely incredible' Candice Carty-Williams

Mecca Jamilah Sullivan

A brilliant debut from a hugely talented writer. Compelling and compassionate, Big Girl is an unforgettable portrait of a queer Black girl as she learns to take up space in the world. It’s also a love letter to a community that is vanishing before the protagonist’s eyes -Harlem in the 80s and 90s – its music, flavours and sounds.
