About this Book
Nini and Jameelah are best friends. They’re going to be best friends forever.
As the long summer holidays stretch out before them, Berlin becomes their playground. The days all merge into one: swimming, smoking, shoplifting, and hanging out with friends from their estate. At night they descend on the red light district, impersonating the prostitutes there in order to practise for their first time, giggling to each other, tipsy on the Tiger Milk — their homemade cocktail — they’ve been sipping all day.
But then, one night, Nini and Jameelah witness a devastating crime that threatens to ruin everything.
Tiger Milk is an explosive story of love, death and rebellion and of an extraordinary friendship.
Reviews
‘Nails the undertone of an untethered, feral generation.’
