Start reading All That’s Left in the World now! When all instincts have conditioned them to trust no one and keep their distance to stay safe, can they trust each other? Go on a journey with the duo to find out if they can live long enough to admit their feelings. ![]() The bad news is, they’re both helpless when it comes to love. The good news is, they survived the apocalypse. If you’ve ever read a rom-com and thought, “Hmm, wouldn’t it be cool if this was set in a post-apocalyptic world?”, well then, today is your lucky day. But in today’s excerpt from debut novel All That’s Left in the World, we learn romance is even harder after the world has ended. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mama, Nadezhda Alliluyeva (Svetlana took her mother’s family name after Joseph died), was emotionally distant and, when Svetlana was 6, fatally shot herself in the heart. Architect of the nation’s “Great Terror,” Stalin even snooped on his only daughter, starting when she was a teen. Those imprisoned or killed included members of Svetlana’s extended family. Soviet tyrant Joseph Stalin, was responsible for the deaths of between 20 and 60 million of his countrymen in labour camps - the dreaded Gulag - and from starvation and executions. ![]() Poet Philip Larkin’s oft-quoted line, “They f- you up, your mum and dad,” applies to many of us, but it’s hard to imagine a life more harmed by parentally bestowed horrors than that of Svetlana Alliluyeva. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book begins, “In the beginning, from somewhere south of anywhere I come from, lips pressed the edge of a horn, and a horn was blown.” Abdurraqib knows how to make sound turn into music - like the horn-player, he turns breath into song. The first few paragraphs had the same effect as those horns on ‘Steve Biko’. It’s rare to come across as gripping an opening to a book of music criticism as the first chapter of Hanif Abdurraqib’s Go Ahead In The Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest. It was the first song of theirs I’d heard and now, after years of being a Tribe fan, every time I hear those blaring horns I’m a teenager again, walking to school, feeling like I was at the beginning of something great. When I first listened to ‘Steve Biko (Stir It Up)’ on A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders, I knew I was onto something big. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are eight children’s books where Africa is a major character in the story.

Chronicling the story of the last Africans brought illegally to America in 1860, African Town is a powerful and stunning novel-in-verse. Whether it is an early reader book that tells a folklore lesson or a coming-of-age story that highlights the endurance of a person’s will to survive, I have always found that the stories are impactful to the reader. ![]() In some cases, those African countries act as a character itself.
