In the sequel to the bestselling Mophead, Selina is invited to read a poem for the Queen in Westminster Abbey. Someone calls her a ‘sellout’. What will she do? Featuring Meghan and Harry, colonialism and climate change, this is a hilariously thought-provoking take on how we can overcome our differences.
‘‘She blows in like a song
carried on a powerful
current: a wild-haired
woman, larger than life,
carrying a tall carved
stick. She loses things in
that hair, she says; finds
pens in there days after
they went missing.’
