Product Details

Praise

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
