Zainab hails from a family of four, but their table is big enough to fit all of the family, friends and neighbors who gather around - this to celebrate with Zainab’s family before they move. At their new home the table feels big for only four, but - surprise - people arrive to fill it again.
Wedlock has a joyful look at extended family and joyful gatherings of all kinds - from the every day to special. Is it just me, or do white people just not have the sense of extended family of other cultures? Certainly an inspiration.
The characters in the book are Black
