Beschreibung
Set in South East London, two Black British artists - he a photographer, she a dancer - trying to make their mark in the city. At once a beautiful love story and a potent insight into race and masculinity, OPEN WATER asks what it means to be a person in a world that sees you only as a Black body, to be vulnerable when you are only respected for strength, to find safety in love, only to lose it. Winner of the Costa First Novel Award 2021
