'There are times though that no matter how much food I eat I find the food does nothing for
me like I am hungry for my country and nothing is going to fix that' This is the story of
Darling uprooted from her family home by paramilitary police and living in a Zimbabwean
shanty called Paradise. Despite the turmoil she revels in mischief and adventures with her
friends like stealing guavas from the rich neighbourhood and singing Lady Gaga at the top of
her voice. But when Darling has a chance to forge a different life in America she realises
that this new paradise brings its own set of challenges. In We Need New Names a spirited girl
grows into a powerful observer of global identity. Meet ten of literature's most iconic
heroines jacketed in bold portraits by female photographers from around the world.
