Three black women from different backgrounds find common ground living in a different country far from home. Kemi is a successful marketing pro from the states who is hired to head up a diversity team at a top firm in Sweden. Brittany is a flight attendant in the states who is swept off her feet by a wealthy Swedish marketing executive who is determined to marry her and have her move to Sweden.
Muna is a refugee from Somalia who lands in Sweden and is determined to love her new country but is suffering from a traumatic event that happened at the refugee shelter. All three must learn a new language, new customs and deal with some of the same racial injustice or ignorance as their parent country. This interesting novel looks at race but also economic classes , immigration in other countries and mental illness. An interesting viewpoint from a debut author I hope we hear more from. This book would partner nicely to THE OTHER BLACK GIRL and the WWII novel SISTERS IN ARMS. 4 stars
