Charmaine Wilkerson Good Dirt recensie en review
- “A remarkable exploration of family bonds, grief, heartbreak, friendship, and the deep scars of slavery and racism… Wilkerson’s prose is succinct yet richly evocative, masterfully delving into the minds and motivations of her characters and delivering a narrative that lingers long after the final page… This novel solidifies Wilkerson’s place as one of the great multi-generational storytellers of our time.” (Abi Daré, author of The Girl with the Louding Voice)
- “Beautiful, deeply resonant…A story that is as meaningful as it is delicious.” (Taylor Jenkins Reid)
Flaptekst van de nieuwe roman van Charmaine Wilkerson
A family full of secrets. A chance to set them all free.
When Ebby Freeman travels to France to take a three-month hiatus from her complicated home life, the last person she expects to find is her ex-fiancé Henry, with his new girlfriend in tow.
Nearly twenty years earlier, the Freemans were the only African American family living in a wealthy coastal enclave in Connecticut when armed robbers invaded their home and tragedy changed their lives forever.
Then, just as Ebby thought she had a new chance at happiness, her storybook romance with Henry fell apart.
Now, this unexpected encounter with Henry will force Ebby to reckon with her past and to think on the other loss her family suffered that day – the destruction of a beloved stoneware jar crafted by an enslaved ancestor and passed down through the generations.
A piece that might hold not only her family history, but also the key to reclaiming her future.
