Note from Laufey: If you're a romantic at heart like me, Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson will stir something deep in your soul. It's a poetic, intimate portrayal of Black love, vulnerability, and the ache of being truly seen.
by Caleb Azumah Nelson
Two young people meet at a pub in South East London. Both are Black British, both won scholarships to private schools where they struggled to belong, both are now artists - he a photographer, she a dancer - trying to make their mark in a city that by turns celebrates and rejects them. Tentatively, tenderly, they fall in love. But two people who seem destined to be together can still be torn apart by fear and violence.
