Brought to you by Penguin.

London, 1978. Yamaye, a woman in her 20s unsure of who she is, but with dreams of being a DJ and MC. Yamaye lives for the weekend, when she can go raving with her friends at The Crypt, an underground club in the industrial town on the outskirts of London where she was born and raised.

Everything changes when she falls deeply in love with Moose: he offers the chance of freedom and change. When their relationship is cut brutally short, Yamaye goes on a dramatic journey of transformation that takes her first to Bristol, where she gets caught up in a criminal gang, and then to Jamaica, where past and present collide with devastating consequences.

Remarkable... In terms of sheer lyrical force it stands head and shoulders above most debuts
I was blown away by Fire Rush - an exceptional and stunningly original novel by a major new writer... Her mesmerising, imaginative and incantatory writing leaves us swaying to the bass of the visceral rhythms she so powerfully describes. By the end of the novel, I felt charged and changed and already longed to reread it (Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER)
Few have channelled so well the skittering beats and transcendent air of dub music as Crooks does in her semi-autobiographical debut... Startlingly vivid reading
A heady swirl of a novel that pulls the reader in from the first page... A fabulous, absorbing read (Maggie O'Farrell, author of THE MARRIAGE PORTRAIT)
A window into the dub scene at the time, with rhythmic, lyrical writing and a story about raving, love and the impact of police violence... Both a page turner and a literary novel... Truly remarkable
A hypnotic journey into the dub reggae scene
This beautiful, sprawling narrative is wrought with an incredible precision and a musicality which carries every sentence. Crooks' novel haunts but make space for hope as well (Caleb Azumah Nelson, author of OPEN WATER)
A colourful, immersive debut... Throughout, a passion and anger resound as we gain a glimpse into a rarely observed British subculture
A brilliant, exuberant novel. Full of beauty, musicality and feminist power (Irenosen Okojie, author of NUDIBRANCH)
A scorching, lyrical debut, soaked in dub reggae

Loved this book, the story is one I recognise in myself back in the 70s. It's authenticity is great, from London to Jamaica. A real Jamaican will understand.

Beautiful narration from Leonie Elliot can we have her doing voiceovers on other books. I felt transported into the black music scene of the late 70's with ease, and felt the tension and europhia from chapter 1 to 30 brilliant story, hopefully we hear more from the author soon.

On point narration

I enjoy the book, A good story relatable to those who know and rember the settings of the time in the uk for Black British first generation Jamaicans. And many Irish alike. Only gripe. The Jamaican accent wasn't very authentic so it kinda put me off at times, apart from that a relatable story for the times. Many can relate too.

Lost souls of the empire.
