Nightbloom
The stunning second novel from Peace Adzo Medie, author of Reese's Book Club pick His Only Wife
When Selasi and Akorfa were young girls they were more than just cousins — they were an inseparable duo, prepared to do anything to protect one another. There was no such thing as a 'secret' between the two girls, who lived their entire childhoods side by side.
Then Selasi begins to change. She becomes withdrawn and hostile, losing interest even in the schoolwork that used to be so important to her. Selasi constructs a wall around herself designed to keep everyone out - even Akorfa.
It will be years before Akorfa learns what happened. But is there still time to save their friendship? When a terrible crisis brings them back together as young women, they must confront the secrets that Selasi has worked so hard to bury, and challenge those who would prefer her to remain silent.
A riveting story of friendship and belonging, from a remarkable Ghanaian talent, Nightbloom is the must-read book of the summer.

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.
