Another Country by James Baldwin
"This is an exquisite piece of literature. It is written in a beat style but ,unlike other books of a similar genre, there is a distinct well crafted purpose to the structure and sentences. This craft gives the book real poignance.

Explores interesting themes of colour and gender through incredibly well defined sympathetic characters that give powerful depth to the plot points. The book carries a constant dream, a hope that struggles throughout the book desperate for a happy ending, this makes the book very emotive and immersive.

This is truly a fantastic book and right up there with the finest novels I’ve ever read."
