Description
A group of young, Black British friends navigate their way through the ups and downs of modern London life, in this richly imagined collection of linked stories.
'Heartachingly beautiful.' – Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, author of Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?

'Devoured this in one day… suffused with love and warmth.' – Jendella Benson, author of Hope & Glory
These are the people who sustain us through good times and bad.
Meet Niah and her friends. They’re young, they’re smart, they’re part of a tight friendship group determined to make the most of every day. And their lives are about to change forever.
From the tingling excitement of a new relationship to the challenges of online dating, from the shadow of racism in the workplace to the isolation of Covid-19, the stories in For Such a Time as This burst with romance and friendship. This stunning new collection is a powerful snapshot of the relationships – and moments – that make us who we are.
