Overview

Framed by the story of escape from a toxic marriage, Chaotic Good focuses on the incremental ways in which power accumulates, shifts and is relin-quished within both home and community. Incisive, rigorous and artful, Isabelle Baafi reminds us of the importance of self-determination, and how, when we feel most eroded, we might discover what we need deep within our-selves: 'This time and every time, I was the code I needed to find my way back.'

Reviews

'With sure formal dexterity and an exciting precision of lyrical imagining, Baafi explores the complicated pathways of suspicion and uncertainty, and - most vitally - the simultaneous possibilities of threat and beauty, mistrust and hope, darkness and joy. The knowing narrative detail is charged as strongly with ideas as with feeling, resulting in a highly original fusion of resistance and compassionate determination.', Jane Draycott 'In this wise-hearted and deft debut, Baafi gets to the grain of family, inher-itance, the grit of growing up and the grappling to become oneself.', Rachel Long
