Product Information
A stunning, shattering debut novel about two Black British artists falling in and out of love Two young people meet at a pub in South East London. Both are Black British, both won scholarships to private schools where they struggled to belong, both are now artists - he a photographer, she a dancer - trying to make their mark in a city that by turns celebrates and rejects them. Tentatively, tenderly, they fall in love. But two people who seem destined to be together can still be torn apart by fear and violence. At once an achingly 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. With gorgeous, soulful intensity, Caleb Azumah Nelson has written the most essential British debut of recent years.Product Identifiers

Essential Beautiful and heartbreaking in equal measure
A staggering work of art. Poetic, heartbreaking, romantic and hopeful. While the main action is the beautiful romance that develops between two artist friends it’s real strength is in its delineation of being young and black in London..the culture the community and the weight carried by every PoC in contact with the harsh realities of racist policing in a racist society.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
