In her second novel, Love Forms, Claire Adam returns to themes of loss and identity, this time through the lens of Dawn, a young woman from a Trinidadian family who confronts the trauma of a past pregnancy. After an encounter at carnival leads to an unplanned pregnancy, Dawn's family enforces silence around the event, complicating her emotional recovery for decades. Now a mother in London, Dawn grapples with her fragmented identity and embarks on a search for her lost daughter, only to find that the past is more intricate than her memories allow.
Claire Adam's sophomore novel, Love Forms, transcends the boundaries of a typical debut: it’s rich in emotional depth, exploring themes of maternal loss, identity, and the haunting repercussions of past choices.
Dawn's story, woven between Trinidad and London, reveals a life marked by silence and trauma, highlighting the enduring impact of a mother’s choices on her identity and relationships.
