Kiley Reid: Such a Fun Age
A carefully observed study of class and race, and biting portrait of white urban affluence
A remarkable debut from an exhilarating young new voice, Such a Fun Age is a big-hearted page-turner of a story about race and privilege, centring on a young black babysitter, her well-meaning employer, and a chance encounter that threatens to undo them both.
