This is the story of the decline and break-up of a marriage as well as the consequences for close family and friends.

the things i am thinking while smiling politely is the story of the decline and break-up of a marriage as well as the consequences for close family and friends. Ama loses her sista, Kareem learns to mistrust a good friend, the siblings Ash and Beth have to fight for their mother's affection, Till and his wife drift away from each other... Sensitively, honestly and with a special sense of humour, the woman with all these roles describes how she rediscovers herself - and not only in the positive sense.

Following years of activist work in the Black German community, Sharon Dodua Otoo continues to pursue empowerment as a theme, this time in the field of literature. Sharon weaves her observations on everyday racism and privilege into the story of a Black British woman whose marriage breaks down.
