As her mother lies on her death bed, Jacinta Moses attempts to reconstruct - to give dignity to - their life in Lavender Sweep, Clapham. The days of grandeur when her father, Simon Moses - African tribesman and London scholar - charmed the world and her mother with his wisdom and native songs. The days of joy when one of Britain's first interracial couples defied local gossips with their passion for life and each other. The days before Lady, before Manny, before Esther, before John. Before something terrible transformed Easter. Moving from Clapham to America and Africa, 'Lady Moses' is an epic, heart-warming first novel of three generations of Moses women and their fight for sanity, dignity and self-respect.
