Books Included in This Collection:
Soul Tourists
Soul Tourists introduces Stanley Williams, a man in search of more than a nine-to-five life, and Jessie O'Donnell, a barmaid with a spark for adventure. Their encounter sets off a journey across Europe that probes friendship, ambition, and what it means to find home. Evaristo’s crisp wit and empathetic gaze make this opening novel a vivid invitation into the collection’s broader themes of desire, risk, and reinvention.

Blonde Roots
Blonde Roots reimagines history through Doris, a young Englishwoman whose life is abruptly unsettled by the brutal legacies of slavery. The narrative travels from the countryside of England to the harrowing truths of the slave trade, prompting readers to confront inherited memory and the price of belonging. With lyrical rhythm and precise social insight, this novel deepens the collection’s exploration of identity, lineage, and the choices that shape who we become.

Mr Loverman
Mr Loverman follows Barrington Jedidiah Walker, a septuagenarian Antigua-born resident of Hackney who leads a double life. With flamboyant style, sharp Shakespearean banter, and enduring humor, he navigates loyalty to family while honoring a secret romance that defies convention.
