Über diesen Titel

 Two women search for a place of belonging, in this stunning novel that will break your heart and lift you up.

'A stunning novel and a dynamic intergenerational tale' Bernardine Evaristo

'Evocative and exhilarating. Christina Fonthes is a fresh and powerful new writer with a beautiful voice and bold talent' Salena Godden

'A wonderful, vital novel exploring familial legacies and queer lives. Fonthes deftly charts the complex paths of these characters with real verve and authenticity' Irenosen Okojie MBE

'A captivating read from an exciting new voice' Cherie Jones

1980's Kinshasa. Mira is the teenage daughter of a family on the rise. When she falls in love with an impoverished singer, a criminal the eyes of her parents, it sets her on a dramatic path that winds its way across oceans and decades.

2004, London. Bijoux is a young British-Congolese woman living with her silent and flinty Pentecostal aunt, Tantine Mireille. Outwardly she plays the role of the obedient child, going to prayer meetings and following instructions. But Bijoux has a secret; she is in love with a woman. She has been for a year. When her aunt wants her to marry one of the young men from the church, Bijoux has to make a decision.

Vividly bringing to life the Congo and its diaspora, Where You Go, I Will Go weaves Bijoux and Mira's stories together across two continents, two generations, through the mess of love and sexuality, and the pull of mother-daughter relationships, to finally bring them to a place of belonging - home.©2025 Christina Fonthes Belletristik Frauenliteratur Literatur & Belletristik

Kritikerstimmen

A stunning novel that brings to the fore lesbian love, the Congo and the UK, and family and cultural expectations in a dynamic intergenerational tale (Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other)
A fresh voice in the global narrative of women's lives. From London to Kinshasa, Christina Fonthes masterfully explores the search for belonging, self-acceptance, and love, across two generations (Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake and Good Dirt)
A wonderful, vital novel exploring familial legacies and queer lives. Fonthes deftly charts the complex paths of these characters with real verve and authenticity (Irenosen Okojie MBE)
A compelling exploration of life, love and liberty at the intersection of several identities - queer, African, Christian, immigrant - in modern London. It tenderly excavates legacies of home and tradition to highlight that while we may not choose what histories we inherit, we can certainly choose to remain beholden only to those which serve and ultimately save us. A captivating read from an exciting new voice (Cherie Jones, author of How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House)
Evocative and exhilarating. Christina Fonthes is a fresh and powerful new writer with a beautiful voice and bold talent (Salena Godden, author of Mrs. Death Misses Death)
A rich complex compendium exploring the nuances of being Black, Congolese, immigrant, gay and a woman. A story that is thrillingly told. A novel that only Christina Fonthes could have written (JJ Bola)
What a fantastic novel. Christina gains your trust from the first few pages and leads you through the winding corridors of the heart-thumping, finger-tingling story, until its satisfying conclusion. The novel is aptly named for wherever Fonthes's future leads, I will gladly follow. Stunning! (Chikodili Emelumadu, author of Dazzling)
A stunning evocation of place and history that delivers its punches with tenderness, longingand absolute authenticity. A powerful, unforgettable debut (Wiz Wharton, author of Ghost Girl, Banana)
Christina Fonthes has masterfully crafted a novel that is both intimate and expansive as it examines the lives of Congolese women in the diaspora striving for self determination in a world that won't account for the fullness of their existence. Where You Go, I Will Go is at once tender, tragic and triumphant - thoroughly unforgettable (Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory and All That We've Got)
Lyrical and accomplished (Red Magazine)
Illuminating life in the Congo and England through female and queer voices, Where You Go, I Will Go weaves together two intertwining parallel stories with emotion and delicacy . . . I was so enraptured in the beautiful writing and the lives of each of the characters that I read this novel entirely in two sittings
