My Person
'Mutonji writes sharply about the subtle ruptures endemic to formative friendships' RAVEN LEILANI
'A fresh, flamboyant take on modern friendships - tremendously fly and enjoyable' DIANA EVANS
'Nuanced and fearless . . . Told with subtlety and verve' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS
'I WANT TO, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT BUT, I WANT TO UNKNOW YOU.'
A MOMENT OF SILENCE. THEN MARGOT STARTED LAUGHING.
Tania and Margot, best friends for over twenty years, are preparing to host their monthly dinner party when Tania tells Margot this isn't working for her anymore. But how do you extricate yourself from someone whose family owns your apartment, who has taken you in as their own, even claims you as their 'person'?
In the midst of a tense will-they-won't-they break-up, Tania and Margot are forced to reckon with where it all went wrong . . . or whether they were simply wrong for each other to begin with.
A taut, piercing exploration of girlhood and identity, and the ways in which world-defining friendships can be both beautiful and excruciating, My Person is an addictive, astutely observed novel from a major new talent.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
