Leone Ross’s first novel, All the Blood Is Red, was longlisted for what was then the Orange Prize, her second, Orange Laughter, was chosen as a BBC Radio 4 Women’s Hour Watershed Fiction favourite, and if her latest, This One Sky Day (Popisho in the US), a magical-realist tour-de-force fifteen years in the making, isn’t similarly nominated for awards it’ll be an understatement to say that I’ll be severely miffed.
Over the course of this single day, the lives of several of its residents will intertwine, and by nightfall, all will have given a gift but many will no longer be the same.
