Includes on the front endpapers the text of the poem 'Unity', written by the author for the Commonwealth Day Reception 2016 .

"Selina is invited to perform for the Queen at Westminster Abbey. But when a colleague calls her a 'sellout', Selina starts doubting herself.

From the sinking islands in the South Seas to the smoggy streets of London, this is a hilariously thought-provoking take on colonial histories and one poet's journey to bridge the divide."--Back cover.
