À propos de cet audio

 A provocative and "dizzying satire" (The New Yorker) that "boldly turns history on its head" (Elle) from the Man Booker Prize winning author of Girl, Woman, Other.

What if the history of the transatlantic slave trade had been reversed and Africans had enslaved Europeans? How would that have changed the ways that people justified their inhuman behavior? How would it inform our cultural attitudes and the insidious racism that still lingers today? We see this tragicomic world turned upside down through the eyes of Doris, an Englishwoman enslaved and taken to the New World, movingly recounting experiences of tremendous hardship and the dreams of the people she has left behind, all while journeying toward an escape into freedom.

A poignant and dramatic story grounded in provocative ideas, Blonde Roots is a genuinely original, profoundly imaginative novel. Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Histoire alternative Historique Littérature et fiction Science-fiction Comédie Spirituel

Ce que les critiques en disent

A hugely imaginative tale that invites important debates, challenging fundamental perceptions of race, culture and history—Independent on Sunday

This brilliant novel will fulfil [Evaristo's] purpose of making readers view the transatlantic slave trade with fresh eyes—The Times

A phenomenal book. It is so ingenious and so novel. Think The Handmaid's Tale meets Noughts and Crosses with a bit of Jonathan Swift and Lewis Carroll thrown in. This should be thought of as a feminist classic.—Women's Prize for Fiction Podcast

Reimagines past and present with refreshing humour and intelligence . . . human and real—Guardian

[Blonde Roots] is a powerful gesture of fearless thematic ownership by one of the UK's most unusual and challenging writers—Independent

As with a Swiftean satire, Evaristo's novel is powerful not for its fantastical elements but for its ability to bring home the horror of historical events—Financial Times

I was very excited to get this audio as I am such a fan of other novels by this amazing author. I thought the premise was extremely interesting and the idea of having a satirical take on such a serious subject. I believed this would make for an intriguing listen, however the result was disappointing.

Great premise, disappointing execution

This is the 3rd book I've read by Bernadine Evaristo and I cannot get over how good it was. I have never read such an impactful satirical work. Blonde Roots transports the reader to the most believable, fantastical world. You have to continually challenge the images of the characters and their surroundings because of all the historical knowledge you possess. Her ability to capture complex relationships between people and places, human desire and spirit, culture and spirituality, and love and heartbreak is incredible. This should be required reading. A true masterpiece.

Simply Amazing. Satire at its very best!
