The Book Club book
Author Athena Liu is a literary phenomenon while her friend June Hayward is a nobody, and is jealous. So when Athena dies in a freak accident, June sees nothing too wrong in stealing her unpublished work and publishing it herself under the name Juniper Song. When questions start to be asked, what will June do to protect her new-found success...?
Yellowface raises interesting contemporary questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, while being gripping and highly readable.
‘Ingenious, astute, hugely entertaining’ David Nicholls

Geoff says:
"It's funny that this book has been a publishing sensation - given that it satirizes the book publishing industry! It was Amazon book of the year, and the Fiction Book of the Year 2024 at the British Book Awards."
