Some Kind Of Black Reviews
A gloriously capable and confident writer...Some Kind of Black is thoughtful, witty and moving...it is refreshing to read something so extrovert and alert...I urge you to read it * THE TIMES * Strikingly innovative...Adebayo's novel wryly captures the essence of a tribalised society, and, in doing so, has a powerful resonance for us all, black or white, as his complex web of storylines and characters culminates in a surprising denouncement. * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * Sharply written and exceptional * DAILY TELEGRAPH * Magnificent and seductively Nineties * Julie Myerson *
