Don’t mess with Harri!
This pacy debut novel by G.I. James revolves around a mixed-race adoptee growing up in the North West of England during the 1970s. Our hero, Harriet Bush, grapples with the scars of her trans-racial adoption; a catastrophic betrayal that stifles her trust in others and precludes any sense of her belonging.
Entering adulthood, Harri’s quest for love and happiness has already spiralled into tragedy and chaos. However, unexpected hope emerges in her controversial business, in her friendships, and in her family relationships. But can Harriet really succeed in finding love or happiness without first confronting the unrelenting grief and bubbling anger that have so defined her existence?
Love and Happiness is a raw and poignant exploration of the destructive nature of adoption, the relentless pursuit of identity, and the struggle to find a place in a world that feels untrustworthy and unwelcoming. Will Harriet be able to reclaim her sense of self and find the affirming love she so desperately seeks, or will the shadows of her past consume her?
