Blonde Roots: From the Booker prize-winning author of `Girl, Woman, Other`

From the Booker Prize-Winning Author of `Girl, Woman, Other`Longlisted for the Orange Fiction Prize 2009Finalist for the Hurston Wright Legacy Award 2010″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 Welcome to a world turned upside down. One minute, Doris, from England, is playing hide-and-seek with her sisters in the fields behind their cottage. The next, someone puts a bag over her head and she ends up in the hold of a slave-ship sailing to the New World…In this fantastically imaginative inversion of the transatlantic slave trade – in which `whytes` are enslaved by black people – Bernardine Evaristo has created a thought-provoking satire that is as accessible and readable as it is intelligent and insightful. `Blonde Roots` brings the shackles and cries of long-ago barbarity uncomfortably close and raises timely questions about the society of today.
