Two women. Four decades. A lifetime of secrets.
1978: A scholarship draws Nancy from Gambia’s warmth into Sweden’s winter. When her friendship with charismatic scholar Lars blossoms into something more, she thinks she may have finally found her place. But there’s more to Lars than his charming persona, and Nancy is about to discover the danger of being drawn into his world…
2006: Tina has had her taste of fame as the nation’s Eurovision pop princess. But beneath her glittery façade, Tina is desperate to discover who she really is. Her mother, Nancy, seems desperate to keep the past under wraps, but will an unexpected figure help open the door?
Spanning four decades and three continents, Bitter Honey is a story of mothers, daughters, and the importance of carving your own path.©2023 Lola Akinmade Akerstrom (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Kritikerstimmen
An urgent call for empathy, grace and understanding.
There’s an urgent question running through Bitter Honey. What does it mean to parent when your life has been violently derailed by structures beyond your control?
A thrillingly pacey novel with precise historical detail that could be gulped down in just a few sittings.
What stands out most in Bitter Honey is [the] handling of emotional inheritance, more specifically how trauma, silence, and survival strategies are passed from mother to daughter, often wordlessly
Brilliantly compelling…Bitter Honey explores the complexities, rifts and healing aspects of mother-daughter relationships, sisterhood, and how it’s possible to dig deep, summon resilience, and find the strength to make positive transformations. It’s a compulsive read, driven by complex, messy, realistic root-worthy characters.
Lola’s voice and writing offer something magnetic and unmistakably true in a world that increasingly feels like a game of poker
