A jaw-dropping story, told deftly. a gripping, thought-provoking book. - The TimesA beautifully written account of an extraordinary story , Raceless is as eye-opening as it is profound . - Otegha UwagbaGeorgina Lawton's Raceless is an absolutely riveting read, not just as a poignant and eye opening memoir but as a nuanced and crucial dissection of race as a construct . She writes so movingly and powerfully about her experiences - I have no doubt this will be one of the books of this year . - Yomi Adegoke, co-author of Slay in Your LaneThis book is a masterpiece ; functioning both as a beautifully-written memoir and sensitive, highly-researched text unpacking the realities of race as a social construct and as a powerful influence on the lives of black people. It is an invaluable read for any person with an interest in race issues in the UK, but especially black and black mixed race people, who so often haven't been given the space to tell their stories. Georgina Lawton is a true talent and while some parts of her story are mired in pain, upon finishing Raceless you'll only be left with optimism for her future as a writer, thinker and commentator.


- Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, Editor-in-Chief at gal-dem magazineAn incredibly moving and honest account of self discovery. I found myself weeping at the ways Georgina described grieving for a parent on top of navigating the realisation that her origin story was vastly different from the story she had been told. It isn't often that you come across a story like hers and with every page it felt as though she was letting us in a little bit deeper. What a stunning debut! - Liv Little, gal-dem founderLawton builds a strong story around her attainment of emotional balance and her quest for identity and belonging. At turns revelatory and profound, this memoir sings . - Publishers WeeklyGeorgina is such a passionate, engaging writer , and I think Raceless is going to be absolutely huge. - Jenny ColganA beautiful heart-expanding memoir, a truly unforgettable reading experience that will stay with me for a long time . - Emma Gannon.
