About this product
Product Information
A blistering and unignorable literary debut about Blackness and whiteness in modern Britain Come of age in the credit crunch. Be civil in a hostile environment. Step out into a world of Go Home vans. Go to Oxbridge, get an education, start a career. Do all the right things. Buy a flat. Buy art. Buy a sort of happiness. But above all, keep your head down. Keep quiet. And keep going. The narrator of Assembly is a Black British woman. She is preparing to attend a lavish garden party at her boyfriend's family estate, set deep in the English countryside. At the same time, she is considering the carefully assembled pieces of herself. As the minutes tick down and the future beckons, she can't escape the question- is it time to take it all apart? Assembly is a story about the stories we live within - those of race and class, safety and freedom, winners and losers. And it is about one woman daring to take control of her own story, even at the cost of her life.Product Identifiers

Alone Among The Crowds
This is the story of a black woman who has made a success of herself in the white world of corporate finance. Although she has accumulated considerable wealth she is still treated as an outsider, by her colleagues and the world at large. Assembly is her inner dialogue on the run up to a big social event at her (white) boyfriend’s family home. Powerful and poetic, her narrative displays a world of contradictions, and a family history in Britain of constant struggle. Absolutely excellent.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
