The Girl with the Golden Shoes - Colin Channer

The Girl with the Golden Shoes tells the story of Estrella Thompson, a 14-year-old forced to fend for herself when she is banished from the isolated fishing village where she has lived all her life. Her crime? Wanting to read and write. Prematurely ripe in body and mind, and contemptuous of the boundaries placed on her by gender, race, and social class, Estrella takes the villagers' rejection as a chance to change her life. Her aim is to get to Europe, which means she has to get a job – which means she has to get a pair of shoes… and she's never worn a pair in her life.

John Crow's Devil - Marlon James

In the village of Gibbeah – where certain women fly and certain men protect secrets with their lives – magic coexists with religion, and good and evil are never as they seem. In this town, a battle is fought between two men of God. The story begins when a drunkard named Hector Bligh (the “Rum Preacher”) is dragged from his pulpit by a man calling himself “Apostle” York. Handsome and brash, York demands a fire-and-brimstone church, but sets in motion a phenomenal and deadly struggle for the soul of Gibbeah itself.

Jonathan Cape

Fear of Stones and other stories

Walking on the tiger road: "There was still tell-tale sand of a beach nearby. Giant coconut trees continued to grow on either side of the road, their spindly leaves meeting in the air, so the evening sun could only come through the spaces that were left. And Mark’s breath caught in terror as he looked on this effect – the coconut trees, the light, the shadows – the road as if it were striped – orange and black, orange and black.”

For Nothing at All - Garfield Ellis
