This feels like such an important story. It progressed quite slowly in the beginning and it took a while for me to get hooked. Nevertheless, I'm glad I read This Lovely City which is outside of the genre I normally read in. Reading about the character's experiences upon their arrival in London and their daily encounters with racism broke my heart.
