In adulthood, they are content to be all but estranged, until Clara sees a woman who looks exactly like their mother on the streets of London. The catch: this version of Serene, aged not a day, has enjoyed a childless life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClara, a celebrity author in desperate need of validation, believes Serene is their mother, while Dempsey, isolated and content to remain so, believes she is a con woman. As they clash over this stranger, the sisters hurtle toward an altercation that threatens their very existence, forcing them to finally confront their pasts--together. In her riveting first foray into fiction, Yrsa Daley-Ward conjures a kaleidoscopic multiverse of daughterhood and mother-want, exploring the sacrifices that Black women must make for self-actualization. The result is a marvel of a debut novel that boldly asks, \"How can it ever, ever be a crime to choose yourself?\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863364567383,"sku":"9781529923650","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781529923650.jpg?v=1759920409","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-catch-9781529923650","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
