À propos de cet audio

 “A stellar debut . . . about an unconventional family, fear, hatred, violence, chasing love, losing it and finding it again just when we need it most.”—The New York Times Book Review

WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK AWARD • “A wonder . . . [This book] teems with real, Trinidadian life.”—Claire Adam, award-winning author of Golden Child

SEMI-FINALIST FOR THE OCM BOCAS PRIZE • One of the Best Books of the Summer: Time • The Guardian • Goop • Women’s Day • LitHub

After Betty Ramdin’s husband dies, she invites a colleague, Mr. Chetan, to move in with her and her son, Solo. Over time, the three become a family, loving each other deeply and depending upon one another. Then, one fateful night, Solo overhears Betty confiding in Mr. Chetan and learns a secret that plunges him into torment.

Solo flees Trinidad for New York to carve out a lonely existence as an undocumented immigrant, and Mr. Chetan remains the singular thread holding mother and son together. But soon, Mr. Chetan’s own burdensome secret is revealed, with heartbreaking consequences. Love After Love interrogates love and family in all its myriad meanings and forms, asking how we might exchange an illusory love for one that is truly fulfilling.

In vibrant, addictive Trinidadian prose, Love After Love questions who and how we love, the obligations of family, and the consequences of choices made in desperation.

Praise for Love After Love

“Love After Love is gift after gift. An unforgettable symphony of love and loss, heartache and guilt, and the secrets and lies that pull us together, and tear us apart. Dazzlingly told in the most electrifying prose you will read all year.”—Marlon James, Booker Prize–winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf

“This book teems with real, Trinidadian life: neighbors so nosy they know your business before it happens; descriptions of food that'll have you googling recipes; feting and liming and plenty of sex. There's darkness here, too—violence, loneliness, moments of despair—and how Ingrid Persaud weaves all these elements together in one book, with so much warmth and humor and love for her characters, is a wonder.”—Claire Adam, award-winning author of Golden Child Fiction Fiction de genre Littérature et fiction

First I say thank you to Persaud for the story and narration. Besides the telling of a trini story by an ACTUAL trini (oral representation matters), the themes in Persaud’s book are so real, I had to pause many times feeling similar triggers from my own upbringing. Persaud had me furious with characters in one minute and empathizing with them the next. I was moved by how authentic it was in its beauty and in its ugliness of how life can be (for some) in T&T, even now.

a beautiful, ugly glimpse into a Trini family

Absolutely loved this read. As a Trini, it is refreshing to hear our stories told in our dialect. Ingrid Persaud brings the sights, smells and sounds of home to life in this tale about love's complicated and cyclical nature, the sting of betrayal and the power of forgiveness. A gripping, impactful read.

Excellent

The characters were so relatable I felt like I was reading bout my family and I. The story is really touching , love can can hurt real bad but for some reason you still want it and need it no matter how many times you been hurt. The author knew what she what was doing when she wrote this book.

Out standing storytelling

Enjoyed the perspective from the 3 main characters and the west Indian style of saying things. Though I found the swearing to be a bit much, I enjoyed the honesty of the storyline and appreciated the perspective of those voices that are underrepresented. An open mind is needed for this book as those who consider themselves Christian right or very religious may be put off though I do think they would probably need to read this more than anyone else.
