Such a Fun Age: 'The book of the year' Independent 2nd edition

Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, an instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, a Reese Witherspoon and Zoella Book Club Pick and a Times, Stylist, Elle, Glamour and BBC Best Book of 2020! When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for 'kidnapping' the white child she's actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right. But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix's desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know - about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege.
