LONGLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES LITERARY AWARD FOR NONFICTION 'Masterful' DAVE EGGERS 'Unforgettable' MAGGIE SMITH 'Profound' CLAIRE MESSUD 'Will leave you breathless' AMINATTA FORMA When she turned ninety, my mother sprang a final surprise on us. She started speaking in the voice of a stranger. Peter’s mother is dying. She finally drops her guard, losing all fear of conflict to become the family provocateur. While confronting the revelations of what his family was – and wasn’t – and the stoicism that sometimes threatened to destroy them, Peter reflects on his family’s legacy of exile and their tenuous hold on home. He makes us question, suffer and celebrate the relationships we have among family and friends, and the healing of our own wounds. Published By Canongate Books on 2024-09-12
