Ingrid Persaud
À propos de cette écoute
FROM THE WINNER OF THE INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2021
'With Ingrid Persaud's, assured, wizened and brilliant hand at the pen, these women become vitally, thrillingly, and unforgettably alive.' MARLON JAMES
'A voice that has a vibrancy of its own.' RACHEL JOYCE
'A talented and engaging storyteller.' Sunday Times
'Persaud has a knack for finding the sublime in the ordinary.' SARA COLLINS, Guardian
From the award-winning author of Love After Love, comes an epic of wonder, danger and risk.
Popo is brilliant, vulnerable and stuck - but despite those who want to own her, she is determined to free herself from the traps of her past, whatever the cost. Mana Lala is equally as focussed on her little boy who connects her to the man she loves, and she will do anything to keep them both close. For Doris, life is an opportunity she will grab with all her might - hers is another iron will constrained by the truths of being a woman in 1930s Trinidad. And then there is Rosie, pouring her soul into her business, her lover Etty and her store.
Four brave and brilliant women, connected and controlled by one man, and a world that puts all power to his elbow. This is their story, and for some of them, it is all that is left.

I feel like I was there
I have no words to describe the feeling of hearing a work of West Indian historical fiction performed like this. It was an opportunity to learn about a person of whom I knew nothing.
Hearing the familiar words and turns of phrases read and accentuated was like releasing a breath I didn't realise I was holding. There are so few accurate portrayals of West Indians and West Indian life on mainstream platforms. This was a joy to listen to. I felt like I knew these people.
My sincere thanks to everyone who had a hand in making this audiobook possible.
