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.
Meet Niah and Jonathan, Gabby and David, Mima and Ifey. It’s 2020, 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.

Wow! This was a stunning love letter to millennial black Londoners.
Reading this felt like home, a hug with a close friend,putting the key in the door to your family home.
This collection of interconnected stories made me cry,laugh and sit in deep thoughts about issues affecting the millennial generation of the afro Carribbean community in London and the entire UK.
I cannot wait to read more from this author.
Thank you to Netgalley and one world publications for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for review.
