內容簡介
《Wahala》
三個混血移民女性的故事,社會現實主義探索種族,友誼,深情的家庭
SEX AND THE CITY 為 QUEENIE、Expectation 和 MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER 的粉絲帶來了殺手鐧,即將拍成BBC 電視連續劇!
“有趣、令人震驚、無法拒絕,我喜歡它!”——PAULA HAWKINS
“太棒了,我讀完了!Nikki May寫得非常好,關於友誼、食物、時尚以及現代女性在職業和個人生活中可能遇到的許多問題。”——CLARE CHAMBERS
Ronke、Simi、Boo 是住在倫敦的三個混血朋友。他們天生接觸兩種文化和語言,尼日利亞和英語,但並非所有人都覺得這是好事。
日常的種族主義從來沒有阻礙過他們,但現在他們已經30多歲了,他們質疑自己的未來。Ronke 想要一個丈夫(他必須是尼日利亞人),Boo 喜歡(正確來說是忍受)當個全職母親,而充滿時尚夢的 Simi並不受到老闆青睞。
當他們過去的一位迷人朋友Isobel來到鎮上時,她決心為他們解決未來的難題。
他們的友誼開始出現裂痕,很明顯地Isobel不是在幫忙而是在破壞,當她被迫做出可怕的行為時,這些女人被迫承認過去可能再次發生的罪行。
這個關於愛情、種族和家庭的尖銳故事充滿爆炸性、搞笑和瘋狂的娛樂性,會讓你大笑、哭泣和驚恐地喘著粗氣,書中無所畏懼提出對階級、膚色和服裝的議題,引人入勝的內容適合任何曾經珍視不同形式的友誼的人。
SEX AND THE CITY with a killer edge for fans of QUEENIE, EXPECTATION and MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER
SOON TO BE A MAJOR BBC TV SERIAL
'Funny, shocking, unputdownable. I loved it' PAULA HAWKINS
'Terrific. I just raced through Wahala. Nikki May writes so well about friendship, food, fashion and the many ways modern women can stumble in their careers and personal lives' CLARE CHAMBERS
Ronke, Simi, Boo are three mixed-race friends living in London.
They have the gift of two cultures, Nigerian and English.
Not all of them choose to see it that way.
Everyday racism has never held them back, but now in their thirties, they question their future. Ronke wants a husband (he must be Nigerian); Boo enjoys (correction: endures) stay-at-home motherhood; while Simi, full of fashion career dreams, rolls her eyes as her boss refers to her urban vibe yet again.
When Isobel, a lethally glamorous friend from their past arrives in town, she is determined to fix their futures for them.
Cracks in their friendship begin to appear, and it is soon obvious Isobel is not sorting but wrecking. When she is driven to a terrible act, the women are forced to reckon with a crime in their past that may just have repeated itself.
Explosive, hilarious and wildly entertaining, this razor-sharp tale of love, race and family will have you laughing, crying and gasping in horror. Fearlessly political about class, colourism and clothes, the spellbinding Wahala is for anyone who has ever cherished friendship, in all its forms.

各界推薦
I have a feeling this book is going to be huge! It examines friendships that are held together by the thinnest of threads, all the doubts and questions that come from the choices women face, self-destruction, good intentions, bad intentions and a creeping sense of... well, trouble ― MARIANNE CRONIN, author of THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT
Bold, juicy and real! WAHALA is tense and powerful, it's friendship at its best and its worst, and it's THE book to read this year! ― LAUREN NORTH, author of SAFE AT HOME
Dazzling and bursting with life. WAHALA is as joyous, complex and all-encompassing as female friendship itself. I loved it. ― TAMMY COHEN, author of THE WEDDING PARTY
WAHALA hooked me from page one and kept me enthralled till the (TWIST!) end. A riot of colour and noise, friendships, enemies, secrets, lies and soul food. Written with a lightness of touch. Insightful, clever, and honest. I will read anything and everything she writes ― ERICKA WALLER, author of DOG DAYS
LOVED Wahala. Funny and sharp - I completely fell in love with the characters. Definitely one to add to your list ― LAURA MARSHALL, Author of FRIEND REQUEST
Dark, fresh, compelling - all about female friendship and with an outstanding cast of vibrant loveable (and not-so-loveable) characters ― ELIZABETH KAY, Author of SEVEN LIES
Wow, what a debut! I was left wanting more - more of Ronke, Boo and Simi and more of Nikki's brilliant writing about food and friendship. Warm and fun, I loved watching the more sinister side to the story emerge. Fantastic!
― SARAH PEARSE, author of THE SANATORIUM
Wildly entertaining ― THE BOOKSELLER
I couldn't get enough of the four women at the heart of Nikki May's utterly winning debut novel, WAHALA. Every evening, I sank into my bubble bath, eager to return to the lives of May's deep and complex characters. Their loves and wahala ("trouble") brought to mind 'Sex and the City' but felt more modern, more real. When I closed Nikki May's delicious, hilarious novel, I knew it was time to call my friends...time to get into some good wahala of my own
― AMANDA EYRE WARD, author of THE JETSETTERS
Fast-paced and filled with witty dialogue, and the book explores the depth and complexity of friendships between women ― INDEPENDENT: 10 BEST BOOKS BY BLACK AUTHORS
I loved hanging out with Ronke, Simi and Boo. A brilliant portrayal of how complicated friendships can sometimes be ― NINA POTTELL
I LOVED this absolute cracker of a book about the cuckoo in the next and a toxic female friendship. Highly recommended ― LIZ NUGENT, author of LYING IN WAIT and OUR LITTLE CRUELTIES
I love contemporary fiction with messy women, and there's a twist which I did not see coming. Warm and comforting on one page and razor-sharp on the other. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. ― LIZZY DENT, author of THE SUMMER JOB and THE SET-UP
