Intimate and heart-wrenching. Beautifully descriptive. An eye-opening portrayal of rejection and belonging.
The Order of Nature takes readers on a sweeping journey through the struggles and fears of being gay in West Africa - of having to constantly hide, and never being free.
Set in The Gambia, The Order of Nature follows Andrew, an American, and Thomas, a Gambian, navigating an environment where their love is illegal.
At first, both believe it is possible to develop a relationship in even the most trying circumstances. But as their relationship strengthens, the homophobia that envelops them becomes more hostile; the politics of prejudice catches up. Exposed and arrested, they are forced to confront what it means when your existence is considered a crime, your love against the order of nature.
In the fight for global LGBTQ human rights, The Order of Nature is a critical reminder of the human cost of discriminating against people on account of who they are and who they love.
