Whether you're drawn to immersive storytelling, nuanced characters, or thought-provoking themes, Ours is a literary gem that is not to be missed.
One of the stand-out aspects of Ours is Williams’ masterful incorporation of magical realism.

Ours is not only a pleasure to read, but a book sorely needed in today's landscape. In celebrating the richness and complexity of black history, Williams shines a spotlight on voices and experiences that have too often been overlooked or marginalised. With grace and poignancy, he explores themes of resilience, community, and the enduring power of the human spirit – reminding readers of the importance of embracing and honouring diverse narratives.
In short, Ours is a triumph of storytelling that deserves a place of honour on bookshelves everywhere. Williams’ exquisite prose, creative handling of magical realism, and celebration of black history make this book an essential addition to any reader’s collection.
