Black South African schoolgirl Neo worships music more than anything--until she meets Tale, a mesmerizing young woman singer. Neo's rapidly shifting world, in which she experiences her first love, first sex, and first Pride march, is stunning in its immediacy. The painfully intimate, lyrical narrative draws readers into Neo's head with poetic prose that breathes and pulsates with her attractions, dreams, fears, and eventual tragedy.
