Eleanor Shearer
À propos de cet audio
Nova Scotia, 1796. Cora, an orphan newly arrived from Jamaica, has never felt cold like this. In the depths of winter, everyone in her community huddles together in their homes to keep warm. So when she sees a shadow slipping through the trees, Cora thinks her eyes are deceiving her...until she creeps out into the moonlight and finds the tracks in the snow.
Agnes is in hiding. On the run from her former life, she has learned what it takes to survive alone in the wilderness. But she can afford no mistakes. When she first spies the young woman in the woods, she is afraid. Yet Cora is fearless, and their paths are destined to cross.
Deep among the cedars, Cora and Agnes find a fragile place of safety. But when Agnes’s past closes in, they are confronted with the dangerous price of freedom—and of love....
With evocative prose and immersive storytelling, Fireflies in Winter is a powerful novel about love—love for the wilderness in all its unforgiving beauty, and love between two women who risk everything to be together.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Fireflies in Winter is simply luminous. Eleanor Shearer powerfully explores the fragile spaces in history where Black citizens negotiate freedom, the harsh choices frequently forced upon them, and the powerful force of love within those spaces. A book to treasure."—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club
"Shearer is adept at writing quietly beautiful, heart-wrenching passages. Under her mastery, history is alive in new and wondrous ways. Truly a book for these times; a testament to love, and the indomitable human spirit."—Chikodili Emelumadu, author of Dazzling
"Eleanor Shearer has a compelling way of taking a chamber in history we think we know already, then leading us through hidden doors into chambers off it we had no idea were there. Fireflies in Winter does this abundantly and deserves to be seized upon not just by book clubs but by school libraries."—Patrick Gale, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Place Called Winter
“Beautiful... Shearer thoroughly grounds her story in the realistic details of a history most readers won’t be familiar with, and she conveys the joys and dangers of life in Nova Scotia, where humpback whales leap in the ocean and bear attacks can be fatal. It’s a subtle and morally complex depiction of the price of freedom.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Praise for River Sing Me Home
"A gripping novel about the resilience of a mother’s love.”— People
"Shearer’s dynamic debut… weaves together a historical accounting of the perils of British emancipation with a moving interrogation of what freedom really means."—Time
“A powerful novel that explores how freedom and family are truly defined.”—Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Personal Librarian
"An extraordinary odyssey of pain, love, and homecoming as Rachel searches not only for her children but for her own past, her own independence, and her own soul. A haunting and powerful debut.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye
"A testament to how hard a mother will fight for her kids."—Real Simple
"A strong and beautiful novel that stares into the face of brutality and the heart of love."—Jeanette Winterson, New York Times bestselling author of Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
