Indie Book Awards 2021 winner: Love After Love by Ingrid Persaud

Ingrid Persuad took home the Fiction Award at the 2021 Indie Book Awards for her novel Love After Love.
About Love After Love:
Meet the Ramdin-Chetan family: forged through loneliness, broken by secrets, saved by love. Irrepressible Betty Ramdin, her shy son Solo and their marvellous lodger, Mr Chetan, form an unconventional household, happy in their differences, as they build a home together. Home: the place where your navel string is buried, keeping these three safe from an increasingly dangerous world. Happy and loving they are, until the night when a glass of rum, a heart to heart and a terrible truth explodes the family unit, driving them apart.
