Edie is just trying to survive. She's messing up in her dead-end admin job in her all-white office, is sleeping with all the wrong men, and has failed at the only thing that meant anything to her, painting. No one seems to care that she doesn't really know what she's doing with her life beyond looking for her next hook-up. And then she meets Eric, a white middle-aged archivist with a suburban family, including a wife who has sort-of-agreed to an open marriage and an adopted black daughter who doesn't have a single person in her life who can show her how to do her hair. As if navigating the constantly shifting landscape of sexual and racial politics as a young black woman wasn't already hard enough, with nowhere else left to go, Edie finds herself falling head-first into Eric's home and family. Razor-sharp, provocatively page-turning and surprisingly tender, Luster by Raven Leilani is a painfully funny debut about what it means to be young now.

'Luster is entirely remarkable, and the most delicious novel I've read. I couldn't get enough of Raven Leilani's starkly accurate portrayal of the nuances of being a young woman today.' Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie 'A comedic, crystalline, and delightfully sharp portrait of a young woman coming to embody her own artistic power.' Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist 'A darkly funny, hilariously moving debut from a stunning new voice. I couldn't put this one down.' Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half 'A joy to read. Raven Leilani's writing is simply stunning in its reach and originality. Here is writing with edge, flair, humour and tough-love compassion.' Diana Evans, author of Ordinary People 'This book is luminous, glorious. From the first sentence I knew there was word-magic here and that I would read any sentence Leilani cares to write. What a marvel.' Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under 'Ridiculously good: gorgeous, dark, and funny, with sentences that'll wreck you. I will follow this author anywhere she wants to take me.' Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House.
