I have great hopes for Dayo Forster's debut novel Reading the Ceiling. Her prose spits and crackles. In this era of "brown" fiction in "warm places" - it is refreshing to read a writer who is simply comfortable in varied skins; as people are wont to be. Reading the Ceiling is a novel of blurred worlds and possibilities; of comfort zones upended and thorny terrains soothed; (it) is bold, funny and enlightening. Dayo Forster is a writer to watch.
