In this novel, we have the intersection of race, class, and health status, which figures prominently in this England based novel of wealthy, Black British, Chloe Brown, and working-class, white, Redford (Red) Morgan. Chloe’s fibromyalgia has negatively shaped the course of her life, leaving her cantankerous and afraid of love. Whereas, good-natured and thoughtful artist, Red, has his own broken heart and stalled career to mend. The question is, can they move beyond their past wounds to create a better tomorrow?
These novels show us that love can grow and even flourish across cultural divides. The heroines learn the hard way, that a life lived according to someone else’s plan, will not always lead to happiness. Attempting to fulfill family expectations can lead to heartache and despair. It is only after they realize that they must navigate their own path, that they are able to continue on the road to true happiness.
