Where You Go, I Will Go - Pre Order

Where You Go, I Will Go - Pre Order

1980s Kinshasa. Mira is the teenage daughter of a family on the rise. When she falls in love with an impoverished
singer, a criminal the eyes of her parents, it sets her on a dramatic path that winds its way across oceans and
decades.

2004, London. Bijoux is a young British-Congolese woman living with her silent and flinty Pentecostal aunt, Tantine
Mireille. Outwardly she plays the role of the obedient child, going to prayer meetings and following instructions. But
Bijoux has a secret; she is in love with a woman. She has been for a year. When her aunt wants her to marry one of the young
men from the church, Bijoux has to make a decision.

Vividly bringing to life the Congo and its diaspora, Where You Go, I Will Go weaves Bijoux and Mira's stories together
across two continents, two generations, through the mess of love and sexuality, and the pull of mother-daughter
relationships, to finally bring them to a place of belonging – home.
