He wants to revisit the events leading to that terrible night, forcing Jinx to finally confront her past. Fuelled by Lemon’s sumptuous cooking and intoxicating story-telling, together they strip away the layers of the past to lay bare a family drama full of jealousy and tragic betrayal. But Lemon has secrets of his own to share. And as Jinx’s life threatens to fall apart for a second time, she finally begins to believe that redemption might be within her grasp. Blending true East London spirit with a heady Caribbean spice, A Cupboard Full of Coats is a novel of breathtaking elegance that has become a beloved modern classic.
