Honey by Imani Thompson, at Heffers Bookshop

Publishing 7th May, Honey is a blistering, dark, and comic novel that introduces a daring new voice into contemporary fiction. Heffers is delighted to be welcoming Imani Thompson and fellow writer Nikita Gill to discuss this thrilling story in Cambridge, the city in which it is set.

The first time, Yrsa doesn’t intend to K*ll.

But the Cambridge professor sitting opposite has manipulated her friend, stolen her

research. When she flicks the bee into his Sanpellegrino, she thinks he’ll get a nasty

sting.

Then he’s dead. And Yrsa, who – let’s face it – has been bored for a while, is alive.

It’s a sweet feeling, finally having some control.

Imani Thompson is a British writer with Jamaican heritage. During her time studying Sociology at Cambridge University she was published in The Mays and won the Vogue new writer’s prize. She wrote Honey while working as a bookseller at Daunt Books and is now working on her second novel.
