Opis

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2019, Remembered is a debut historical fiction novel. It has drawn comparisons to Beloved by Toni Morrison (from the Guardian, Irish Times, Herald).

Recenzje

Remembered has drawn comparisons with Toni Morrison's Beloved: both are unflinching and haunting in how they address the legacy of the slave trade. Battle-Felton's voice is entirely her own, however, and this book feels vital for our time . . . [this] debut is not an easy read and nor should it be. Fortunate are those of us that only experience such brutality in the pages of a book. Afterwards we emerge more enlightened with our hearts and minds expanded. Remembered will stay with you long after reading Irish Times
