"A stellar debut . . . about an unconventional family, fear, hatred, violence, chasing love, losing it and finding it again just when we need it most."--The New York Times Book Review WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK AWARD - "A wonder . . . [This book] teems with real, Trinidadian life."--Claire Adam, award-winning author of Golden Child SEMI-FINALIST FOR THE OCM BOCAS PRIZE - One of the Best Books of the Summer: Time - The Guardian - Goop - Women's Day - LitHub >Solo flees Trinidad for New York to carve out a lonely existence as an undocumented immigrant, and Mr. Chetan remains the singular thread holding mother and son together. But soon, Mr. Chetan's own burdensome secret is revealed, with heartbreaking consequences. Love After Love interrogates love and family in all its myriad meanings and forms, asking how we might exchange an illusory love for one that is truly fulfilling. In vibrant, addictive Trinidadian prose, Love After Love questions who and how we love, the obligations of family, and the consequences of choices made in desperation. Praise for Love After Love "Love After Love is gift after gift. An unforgettable symphony of love and loss, heartache and guilt, and the secrets and lies that pull us together, and tear us apart. Dazzlingly told in the most electrifying prose you will read all year."--Marlon James, Booker Prize-winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf "This book teems with real, Trinidadian life: neighbors so nosy they know your business before it happens; descriptions of food that'll have you googling recipes; feting and liming and plenty of sex. There's darkness here, too--violence, loneliness, moments of despair--and how Ingrid Persaud weaves all these elements together in one book, with so much warmth and humor and love for her characters, is a wonder."--Claire Adam, award-winning author of Golden Child
