Asha Bromfield’s two novels — Hurricane Summer (2021) and Songs of Irie (2023) — are rooted in Caribbean identity and the complicated dynamics of family, culture, and self-discovery. Both center Black young women navigating spaces where they have to define themselves against expectations and histories not entirely of their making.
Hurricane Summer brought Bromfield significant attention for its honest depiction of a protagonist traveling to Jamaica to reconnect with an absent father, and Songs of Irie followed with a music-centered coming-of-age story.
