À propos de cet audio

“Poignant and important.” (Refinery29)

“A bright and sparkly celebration of love and self-acceptance.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Judy Blume meets RuPaul’s Drag Race in this funny, feel-good debut novel about a queer teen who navigates questions of identity and self-acceptance while discovering the magical world of drag.

Perpetually awkward Nima Kumara-Clark is bored with her insular community of Bridgeton, in love with her straight girlfriend, and trying to move past her mother’s unexpected departure. After a bewildering encounter at a local festival, Nima finds herself suddenly immersed in the drag scene on the other side of town.

Macho drag kings, magical queens, new love interests, and surprising allies propel Nima both painfully and hilariously closer to a self she never knew she could be - one that can confidently express and accept love. But she’ll have to learn to accept lost love to get there.

From debut author Tanya Boteju comes a poignant, laugh-out-loud tale of acceptance, self-expression, and the colorful worlds that await when we’re brave enough to look.

This novel is a quintessentially queer coming of age story, but not in a way that it's spectacular or fabulous or highly critical/political, but in a much more important and meaningful way: it is a typical and normal coming of age/teenage growth novel for the queer and trans folx of colour who didn't get one - it is realness, joy, sadness, the mundane, promise, and youth, from a queer worlding that is just coming into being. The simplicity of the story is profound, and the characters are loveable and real. It's the kind of book that colours in your soul.

I had the opportunity to listen to the audio version of this delightful debut novel.

Nima Kumara-Clark has grown up in a protective environment where the adults in her life are understanding and supportive: an environment she finds boring. When she attends a drag show at a local fair she is introduced to an exciting new world she longs to be part of, one where she is free to explore her feelings for Winnow, a seductive drag king. This is a lovely story filled with a cast of interesting and complex characters, acceptance of differences, fun and a whole lot of glitter.







Delightful read
