About this listen
'Combined my favourite things, art and Caribbean food, with beautiful, nuanced characters that I could have spent a lifetime with.' Nathan Bryon, screenwriter of RYE LANE
In one tiny Caribbean restaurant, three friends try to build a future in a country that refuses to see them.
Judith came to Britain believing that hard work and respectability would keep her safe. Now a nurse, she keeps her head down and sends money home, quietly hoping her sacrifices will mean something.
Mikey is angry, restless and unafraid to speak truth to power - whether through protest or paint.
And Frank? Frank's just trying to find joy wherever he can, even if everything around him is falling apart.
Their worlds collide in a small Caribbean restaurant in North West London, where the smell of Scotch bonnet drifts out the windows and life-altering decisions are made between shifts and shared meals.
Across the decades, as new generations find their way in a city that changes around them, what remains is community, memory and the pulse of something unbreakable.
Soon Come is a rich, moving debut about migration, friendship and the spaces we create when the world gives us none. Inspired by true stories, this is a celebration of the everyday defiance and quiet dreams of London's Caribbean community - and what it means to belong.
'A captivating work of art by one of Britain's most imaginative minds.' Kelechi Okafor, author of EDGE OF HERE
'The reader is in safe hands with this writer . . . She is a humanist storyteller, an authoritative author.' Hugh Quarshie©2025 Kuba Shand-Baptiste (P)2025 Hachette Audio UK
