Our Book of the Week is a dazzling debut novel you need to add to your TBRs. Brimming with compassion, One for Sorrow, Two for Joy by Marie-Claire Amuah is a sensitive portrayal of the consequences of domestic violence and a defiant story of friendship, resilience and hope.

‘Intense and beautiful and heartbreaking’ – Buki Papillon, author of An Ordinary Wonder
