From National Book Award finalist Akwaeke Emezi comes a companion novel to the critically acclaimed PET that explores both the importance and cost of social revolution--and how youth lead the way.
After a childhood in foster care, Bitter is thrilled to have been chosen to attend Eucalyptus, a special school where she can focus on her painting surrounded by other creative teens. But outside this haven, the streets are filled with protests against the deep injustices that grip the city of Lucille.
Bitterâs instinct is to stay safe within the walls of Eucalyptus . . . but her friends arenât willing to settle for a world thatâs so far away from what they deserve. Pulled between old friendships, her artistic passion, and a new romance, Bitter isnât sure where she belongsâin the studio or in the streets. And if she does find a way to help the revolution while being true to who she is, she must also ask: at what cost?
This timely and riveting novelâa companion to the National Book Award finalisti Petâexplores the power of youth, protest, and art.
