Review
One of the most absorbing, chilling, beautifully written and important novels I've read in many years (Alice Walker, author of THE COLOUR PURPLE)
It's been a while since I've read a book that has hooked me from the very first page and kept me hooked throughout every single chapter. All Woman and Springtime is one such rare gem... So absorbing was the story that I wanted to step in and usher the characters to safety. What more could you ask from a novel? (Booktrust)
[A] masterfully realized debut . . . One of its most impressive achievements is the rendering of main character Gi, who is brought powerfully and beautifully to life . . . VERDICT Impossible to put down, this work is important reading for anyone who cares about the power of literature to engage the world and speak its often frightening truths. (Library Journal)
Recommended by Oprah Winfrey, Brandon W Jones brings us a haunting debut that follows two teenage girls as they become innocent victims of the international sex trafficking trade. (PRESS ASSOCIATION)
