  • ‘sucked into the slipstream of rippling spines.’ (p. 5)
  • ‘Nobody knows if he’s lost his mind or found a higher consciousness, like our men who lead the marches and rallies, chanting ‘Black Power’ over the heads of the sistren.’ (p. 6)
  • ‘ancient spirits reanimated by sensimilla and body heat.’ (p. 11)
  • ‘He plays it cool, but he’s like all the other men–rebels, rude bwoys, my poopa–super-sensitised to danger, set on survival mode, stepping on the streets, torsos swinging from their waists like obeah men, with panoramic views of a world that’s out to get them.’ (p. 11)
  • ‘I make my way to my tower block, where grey-white curtains billow like spirits at dark windows and metal coffin lifts shuttle between heaven and hell.’ (p. 14)...
