Book Description: 
London, 1981. In one tiny Caribbean restaurant, three friends try to build a future in a country that refuses to see them.Judith came to Britain to work and build a life, believing that hard work and respectability would keep her safe. Now a nurse, she keeps her head down and sends money home, quietly hoping her sacrifices will mean something. Mikey is angry, restless and unafraid to speak truth to power - whether through protest or paint. And Frank? Frank's just trying to find joy wherever he can, even if the world around him is falling apart. Their worlds collide in a small Caribbean restaurant in South London, where the smell of Scotch bonnet drifts out the windows and life-altering decisions are made between shifts and shared meals. Decades later, a new generation finds its way back to the same place. As the city changes around them, what remains is community, memory and the pulse of something unbreakable.Soon Come is a rich, moving debut about migration, friendship and the spaces we create when the world gives us none. Inspired by true stories, this is a celebration of the everyday defiance and quiet dreams of London's Caribbean community - and what it means to belong.
