Early 1900s London: Taken from his homeland, twelve-year-old Celestine spends most of the time locked away in the attic of a large house by the sea. The only time Celestine isn’t bound by confines of the small space is when he is acting as an unpaid servant to English explorer Sir Richard Babbington, As the years pass, he desperately clings on to memories of his family in Africa, even as he struggles to remember his mother’s face, and sometimes his real name . . .

Sadly beautiful
Revisado: 01-13-23
Where love begins is where love ends. The Attic Child is a bittersweet look into the human heart and the power to get beyond the chasms of darkness.

From one of Britain's most celebrated writers of color, Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of black British women. Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize and short-listed for the Gordon Burn Prize, Girl, Woman, Other paints a vivid portrait of the state of post-Brexit Britain, as well as looking back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.

Intriguing book
Revisado: 12-07-19
Often you come across a book you've enjoyed so much; it doesn't demand an intricate review to assure you of its greatness. Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo was a brilliant, educational, and emotive read. The reader will laugh and cry, all while examining the unsettling knottiness of being a woman.

This book literally gave me an anxiety attack.
Revisado: 12-16-18
When I finished reading this book, I literally laid down and took a nap. I was mentally, emotionally and physically drained.
The story was so vivid and emotionally evoking that I experienced two full-blown anxiety attacks. I suffer from this disorder, but wasn't expecting it to be triggered by the telling of this account.
I must admit this is one of the most unsettling accounts, one will ever read about. I felt something almost unexplainable with everything that took place in this book.
Yebit! I swear this word is forever etched into my brain. I will forever cringe if I am driven to have to revisit that brain space.
Mende’s story is one of sadness, reverence, hope, and patience. I've learned so much from this autobiography, not just about slavery, but how it feels to literally loathe someone thanks to Rahab. Far more important than anything, Mende’s story has taught me about the intensity and overall makeup of a female. I can't even begin to touch on half of the things that took seat in this case. Even so, this is by far the best book I've read in 2018.
