Soon Come
Autor Kuba Shand-Baptisteen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2026
Disruptor Mikey uses art and politics to respond to the injustices he sees. Judith conforms, seeking financial security in an ordinary life as a nurse in order to take care of her family back home. Frank takes life less seriously - he's been judged all his life, but what he lacks in luck, he makes up for in community. Despite their differences, the group's shared tenacity fosters a unique sense of identity, courage and belonging as they are each drawn back to the restaurant over a number of years.
Inspired by the true stories of three older British-Jamaican citizens, Soon Come shines a light on the everyday lives of London's Caribbean diaspora, revealing the hopes, dreams and uncrushable spirit of the generation.

Recenzii
A transporting and lyrical work that beautifully tells the often erased stories of Black Britain's past and near-present. Heartfelt and deeply affecting, it's impossible not to fall for these nuanced, fully realised characters that will stick with you long after you've left the page. A triumph!
Combined my favourite things, art and Caribbean food, with beautiful, nuanced characters that I could have spent a lifetime with. When I finished, I wanted more.
I was blown away by the richness of the characters and their world. The journey that the story prepares the reader for drips with nostalgia and hope. A captivating work of art by one of Britain's most imaginative minds.
The reader is in safe hands with this writer . . . It's as if she has opened an old family photo album and diligently detailed the backstories behind each portrait . . . She is a humanist storyteller, an authoritative author.
Sparkling . . . A lyrical mediation on migration, friendship and the spaces we create when the world gives us none. A beautiful celebration of the everyday defiance and quiet dreams of London's Caribbean community, and what it means to belong.
