Company

A richly detailed, brilliantly woven debut about the life and lore of one Black American family, told in thirteen distinct snapshots of their family gatherings 'A riotous, dazzling debut' DEESHA PHILYAW 'Reading Shannon Sanders makes me want to visit home' TONY TULATHIMUTTE The heartfelt celebration of family and the messy beauty of belonging for fans of Blue Sisters and Small Worlds One family. Thirteen stories. Meet the sisters - Cassandra, Fay, Lela, and Suzette - and their circle of relatives, friends and lovers. A jostling clan of dropouts and overachievers, bickering siblings and delightfully bossy aunties. Journeying from a smoky jazz bar to a glittering campus soirée, this is a family portrait that refuses to sit still and a joyful, multigenerational celebration of belonging. Further praise for Company...'A brilliant debut with each incisive chapter offering a new window into the beguiling Collins family' Ann Napolitano, author of Hello Beautiful 'There are undeniable shades of Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other. . . Sanders has fun playing with her characters as alignments and allegiances shift' Marie Claire 'A deftly woven tapestry that scrupulously depicts familial ties and estrangement' New York Times 'Offers sharp and original insight into the intimate politics of race and class' Danielle Evans, author of The Office of Historical Corrections
