Özet
 A timely and arresting debut novel about what it means to be a Black woman in the world. Perfect for fans of Queenie and Americanah.

Three Black women building new lives in Stockholm become linked in unexpected ways to the same influential white man.

Successful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi is lured from the U.S. to Sweden by Jonny von Lundin, CEO of the nation's largest marketing firm, to help fix a PR fiasco involving a racially tone-deaf campaign. A killer at work but a failure in love, Kemi's move is a last-ditch effort to reclaim her social life.

A chance meeting with Jonny in business class en route to the U.S. propels former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae Johnson into a life of wealth, luxury, and privilege – a life she's not sure she wants – as the object of his unhealthy obsession.

And refugee Muna Saheed, who lost her entire family, finds a job cleaning the toilets at Jonny's office as she works to establish her residency in Sweden and, more importantly, seeks connection and a place she can call home.

Told through the perspectives of each of the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a timely, richly nuanced novel that touches on important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society.©2021 Lola Akinmade Akerstrom (P)2021 Head of Zeus African American Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Women's Fiction Pazarlama

When does a piece of writing, become a novel? When there’s a story, consistent and believable, at its heart. And In Every Mirror She’s Black, has a story, subplots and writing of almost filmic quality. The story itself is engaging and almost addictive (I listened to it over three days), and although there are moments when you need to suspend disbelief, what novel doesn’t contain them?

The author has an engrossing writing style, and her subtle descriptions are not surprising, since she is a professional photographer. The pace was perfect,and she really got beneath the skin of her female characters in particular. The ending was a proper cliffhanger, and I’m about to download her next book with the same characters (Everything is Not Enough).

The narrators were good, their nuanced styles were distinctive. I just wish that the actor playing one of the characters didn’t use a glottal stop (T). That aside, they brought the book to life.

Story. Story, Story

I only enjoyed Muna’s story in this book. Her story touched me and I’m so sad with the ending. I didn’t care for Brittany Rae or Kimmi tbh. The micro aggressions were so cringe and disgusting but i understand that they happen in real life.

I was rooting for Muna
