Musih Tedji Xaviere is a Cameroonian fiction writer based in the UK. Her debut novel, These Letters End in Tears, won the 2021 Pontas and JJ Bola Emerging Writers Prize and is flagged as one of the most anticipated LGBTQ+ novels of 2024.

Set in a country where being gay is punishable by law, These Letters End in Tears is the heart-wrenching forbidden love story of a Christian girl with a defiant heart and a Muslim girl leading a double life. Told mostly through unsent letters, it powerfully charts all the different ways that love, despite all odds, can persevere.
