Sex and the City with a killer edge for fans of Queenie, Expectation and My Sister, the Serial Killer.

See me, see trouble

Ronke, Simi and Boo are three mixed-race friends living in London. They have the gift of two cultures, Nigerian and English, though they don't all choose to see it that way.

Everyday racism has never held them back, but now in their 30s, they question their future. Ronke wants a husband (he must be Nigerian); Boo enjoys (correction: endures) stay-at-home motherhood; while Simi, full of fashion career dreams, rolls her eyes as her boss refers to her 'urban vibe' yet again.

When Isobel, a lethally glamorous friend from their past, arrives in town, she is determined to fix their futures for them.

Cracks in their friendship begin to appear, and it is soon obvious Isobel is not sorting but wrecking. When she is driven to a terrible act, the women are forced to reckon with a crime in their past that may just have repeated itself.

A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on love, race and family, Wahala will have you laughing, crying and gasping in horror. Boldly political about class, colourism and cooking, here is a truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has ever cherished friendship, in all its forms.

Sisterhood tested

Beautiful storyline about sisterhood and the vile penetration of evil in the form of Isabell who weaves her sneaky self in with the one motive of destroying what was a beautiful friendship & bond between the three girls. Like the saying goes “ If I can’t have it (in this case him) no one should”. How evil and vengeful can a human being be! Too much foul language for my ears
