      One of Jacaranda's #TwentyIn2020, Are We Home Yet? is a moving memoir of a mixed-race woman from a working class community in Leeds and her outspoken French-Canadian mother. Exploring issues of shame, immigration and class, the pair share their stories but struggle to understand each other's choices in a fast-changing world.

      Spanning the years from 1935 to 2010, Are We Home Yet? is the moving and funny story of a girl and her mother.

As an adult, Katy contends with grief and mental health challenges before she and her mother attempt to heal their relationship. From Canada, to Leeds and Jamaica, and exploring shame, immigration and class, the pair share their stories but struggle to understand each other''s choices in a fast-changing world.

      By revealing their truths, can these two strong women call a truce on their hostilities and overcome the oppressive ghosts of the past?
