My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love After Love by Ingrid Persaud is set on Trinidad and New York. We follow Betty, her son Solo, and Mr Chetan, who is their lodger.
The three of them make a family unit, except Betty and Mr Chetan aren’t together. This all works until secrets start to come out.
This is written in the way that they speak in Trinidad (as the author was born there, I’ll believe that), so there are words that I’ve never come across before, but it does work at transporting you to somewhere completely different.
I enjoyed this book, but I did find that it took a while to read. The characters are believable and the setting is well written, with descriptions of food that all sound delicious!
Trigger Warning – this book deals with domestic abuse, homophobia, self harm (cutting), and suicide.
Love After Love was published on 2nd April 2020, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Faber and Faber.
