Blonde Roots
Bernardine Evaristo
From the booker prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other
Longlisted for the orange prize for fiction 2009
Winner of the orange youth panel award 2009
Finalist 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.
'A bold and brilliant game of counterfactual history.
Evaristo keep[s] her wit and anger at a spicy simmer throughout' Daily
Telegraph
'So human and real. Re-imagines past and present with
refreshing humour and intelligence' Guardian
'A brilliant satire whose flashes of comedy make the
underlying tragedy all the more poignant' Scotland on Sunday
