Passiontide : The electrifying new novel from the author of The Mermaid of Black Conch

Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island - the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch. `Vital, enraging and brilliant. I loved it' SARAH WINMAN`Beautiful and important' SAFIYA SINCLAIR Early one morning, at the close of St Colibri's carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island. As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. There's Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, a pink-haired, straight-talking local activist. Gigi, the `notorious' founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago. In a community in which women's voices are often silenced and violence against them is overlooked time after time, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out - and to act. But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage. `Roffey's world-building power is evident on every page'GUARDIAN`Will keep you reading all hours... unforgettable'GLAMOUR`A vital novel.
