Bitter

Artistic youth navigates passion, protest, and identity.

If you're drawn to stories where characters wrestle with where their passions intersect with societal issues, "Bitter" will resonate with you. Akwaeke Emezi crafts a narrative that's as much about personal discovery as it is about the transformative power of art and activism. This book could be particularly compelling if you appreciate narratives that don't shy away from the complexities of being young and socially conscious.

Description

From the critically acclaimed author of Pet and The Death of Vivek Oji, Bitter, a companion novel to Pet, takes a timely and riveting look at the power of youth, protest, and art. Bitter is thrilled to have been chosen to attend Eucalyptus, a special school where she can focus on her painting surrounded by other creative teens. But outside this haven, the streets are filled with protests against the deep injustices that grip the town of Lucille. Bitter's instinct is to stay safe within the walls of Eucalyptus . . . but her friends aren't willing to settle for a world that the adults say is "just the way things are." Pulled between old friendships, her creative passion, and a new romance, Bitter isn't sure where she belongs - in the art studio or in the streets. And if she does find a way to help the revolution while being true to who she is, she must also ask: at what cost?
