In this episode of Bookable Space, host Yvonne Battle-Felton is joined by Ishi Robinson. Ishi reads from Sweetness in the Skin. We talk about home, family, and food.

About the Book

Sweetness in the Skin is set in 90s Kingston, Jamaica and tells the story of the irrepressible Pumkin Patterson who is trying and failing to find her place: at home, at school, and in wider society.

When her family implodes, Pumkin chooses to become master of her fate and embarks on an epic journey to find a new home.

But as Pumpkin strives to move further and further away from the city she knows, she discovers that what she is looking for might be closer to home than she’d imagined after all.
