A Libreria Book of the Year 2023, this novel is a captivating ode to the transformative power of storytelling. Set in the rich tapestry of Caribbean folklore, it weaves a profound narrative that explores themes of identity, trauma, resilience, and hope.
Author Eleanor Shearer has masterfully crafted a tale that delves into the enigmatic pasts of Zora and Sasha Porter, two siblings who are unaware of the intricate details of their parents' lives. While they possess fragments of mythical stories about their father Nigel's flight to America on a purple balloon, the violent histories concealed in their mother Beatrice's book of Anansi Stories, and the mention of Nigel's brother, their knowledge is limited.
As their parents' marriage begins to unravel, the siblings navigate their own complex relationships and hidden secrets. Zora grapples with impure thoughts towards a jock, while Sasha indulges in cheap beer with a girl who binds her chest.
A celebration of the enduring power of stories, this startling debut presents a tale of intricate contradictions and a profound examination of the boundaries of resilience. Through its vivid characters and evocative prose, it invites readers to explore the depths of human emotions and the resilience that lies within us all.
