Set within the contemporary art world, ROSE follows a young Black painter navigating recognition, rejection, and cultural gatekeeping.
When frustration pushes her towards an illicit opportunity, she becomes entangled in the creation of a “lost” masterpiece. As success and deception begin to blur, questions of originality, value, and who is permitted to break the rules become dangerously personal.
Sharp, intelligent, and psychologically nuanced, the novel explores power, authorship, and moral ambiguity in a world obsessed with authenticity.
For readers of Raven Leilani, Caleb Azumah Nelson, and Natasha Brown, drawn to novels of sharp intelligence, vulnerability, and moral complexity.
