“A stellar debut ... about an unconventional family, fear, hatred, violence, chasing love, losing it and finding it again just when we need it most.” (The New York Times Book Review)

Winner of The Costa Book Award • “A wonder ... [This book] teems with real, Trinidadian life.” (Claire Adam, award-winning author of Golden Child)

Semi-Finalist for The OCM Bocas Prize • One of the Best Books of the Summer: Time • The Guardian • Goop • Women’s Day • LitHub

After Betty Ramdin’s husband dies, she invites a colleague, Mr. Chetan, to move in with her and her son, Solo. Over time, the three become a family, loving each other deeply and depending upon one another. Then, one fateful night, Solo overhears Betty confiding in Mr. Chetan and learns a secret that plunges him into torment.

Solo flees Trinidad for New York to carve out a lonely existence as an undocumented immigrant, and Mr. Chetan remains the singular thread holding mother and son together. But soon, Mr. Chetan’s own burdensome secret is revealed, with heartbreaking consequences. Love After Love interrogates love and family in all its myriad meanings and forms, asking how we might exchange an illusory love for one that is truly fulfilling.

In vibrant, addictive Trinidadian prose, Love After Love questions who and how we love, the obligations of family, and the consequences of choices made in desperation.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Named after one of the Caribbean's most famous poems, Love After Love is a perfect storm of a book, written in the wake of the groundbreaking Jason Jones LGBT win in 2018. If you want to understand the cultural complexities of a contemporary Caribbean island life, read this novel. Persaud deftly weaves together harsh realities of an island state still struggling with a brutal past. But while this book is dark, it’s funny too; it crackles with the language and wordplay that is the everyday picong spoken on the island. This is a formidable debut by an emerging writer who understands her subject, the island of Trinidad, with all its contrariness, a place where it is still, for some, a hard place to openly love another.” (Monique Roffey, award-winning author of Archipelago and The White Woman on the Green Bicycle)

“Restless, heartbreaking, and intensely spellbinding, Love After Love will stay with you long after the last page.” (André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name)

“Love After Love is gift after gift. An unforgettable symphony of love and loss, heartache and guilt, and the secrets and lies that pull us together, and tear us apart. Dazzlingly told in the most electrifying prose you will read all year.” (Marlon James, Booker Prize-winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf)

Oh My Goodness

This book transported me to sights, sounds and culture of Trinidad while delving into the lives of these three characters. No topic was off limit. No emotion was left unchecked. I laughed, cried and chups teeth with every bend and twist in this plot.

God is love

As a Trinidadian living in Los Angeles, this audiobook felt like a gift from my homeland, so I confess to being positively biased.
Love After Love is filled with authentic snippets of island life and “Trini” expressions beautifully presented in the author’s voice. These triggered fond memories for me, but I’m sure will also be a fascinating window into island life and island speak, for most listeners.
The unique story line is captivating, keeping my full attention throughout as the author unapologetically takes on sensitive subjects from angles that most would avoid. Combining lots of amusing dialogue, some surprising twists you won’t see coming and sections that move you to tears, this novel draws us into its small group of characters and repeatedly reminds us that family and love are defined in many different ways.

A story of family

Wow. surprising storyline, and overall phenomenal read. The culture, Solo’s travel to Queens, and Mr. Chetan’s storyline were all things I connected with, and I was not disappointed. The way the story branches out was so surprising... but to me it wasn’t too far from unrealistic- it made sense. I am awed Ms. Ingrid Persaud. Love the narration, from the superb use of colloquialisms even to the onomatopoeias.
