THERE ARE MORE THINGS - YARA RODRIGUES FOWLER T...

Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction 2022  'a serious accomplishment from a
talented writer with a gloriously untethered style' Sunday Times  'there are more things is a
vivid and expansive novel of sisterhood  love and connection. Reading it is a true experience
of joy  and of hope' Sophie Mackintosh  author of THE WATER CURE  there are more things is a
novel about two women - Melissa and Catarina.   Born to a well-known political family in Olinda
Brazil  Catarina grows up in the shadow of her dead aunt  Laura. Melissa  a South London native
is brought up by her mum and a crew of rebellious grandmothers.  In January 2016  Melissa and
Catarina meet for the first time  and  as political turmoil unfolds across Brazil and the UK 
their friendship takes flight. Their story takes us across continents and generations - from
the election of Lula to the London riots to the darkest years of Brazil's military
dictatorship.  there are more things builds on the unique voice of Yara's debut to create a
sweeping novel about history  revolution and love. In it we see sisterhood and queerness  and 
perhaps  glimpse a better way to live.
