Recenzii
Sometimes characters are so lively and entertaining, you don't want to say goodbye to them. In wild, firecracker prose, Palmer whirls the reader into a realm where the real and unreal are constantly changing places. It's a stunning feat of storytelling in itself.
What happens to stories that are born of another land? When they migrate multiple times and across multiple generations? Soraya Palmer's ambitious and passionate debut, The Human Origins of Beatrice Porter and Other Essential Ghosts, is a thoughtful exploration of these questions ... This is a book written with the gods of storytelling in mind; it highlights what stories can do - that it's not just the stories that evolve with each telling, but we ourselves who are rearranged too
A brilliant, compelling exploration of familial legacies. A mythic and edifying read
A beautiful ode to the power of storytelling, this novel is steeped in the folklore of the Caribbean and weaves a powerful narrative of identity, trauma, resilience and hope. Palmer's dynamic and sometimes playful prose had me hooked from the beginning and each character was rounded, nuanced and will stay with me long after reading
An all-consuming novel about sisterhood, motherhood, belonging, loss, and self-discovery. Soraya Palmer's characters are unparalleled and her prose is musical. Read this novel with a sibling, a cousin, or a very close friend
At once mischievous and warm, Soraya Palmer's voice will bewitch you from the very first page, leading you through the complexities of sisterhood and motherhood, belonging and loss
The Human Origins of Beatrice Porter and Other Essential Ghosts envisions family as always in motion, careening through history, connection, attachment, discovery and warmth, with all the pain, loss, and even violence that might include. Expertly paced, deeply imagined, by turns playful and heartbreaking, I love the way this novel understands that sometimes nothing will sustain us except the right story that is truer than true
Playful and deft
Palmer weaves folktales and magical realism in her moving debut ... Palmer brings whimsy to her portrayal of the family even in painful moments-such as when Beatrice tells the girls fables to cheer them up-and nuance to the evolving attitudes of the Black American and Caribbean people in Sasha's orbit toward her exploration of sexuality and gender identity. This will stick with readers
Vivid and otherworldly, this masterfully told novel brings together many threads of family history, personal memory, collective choices, sexuality, and a realm of mysteries and mythic creatures with deep origins and powers . . . A striking and imaginative debut
The long and winding name of this assertive debut matches the magnitude of the stories within, which draw on folklore to capture the dynamic between two sisters, Zora and Sasha Porter. Their mother's illness and their father's violence has fractured their relationship, but their bond is reforged as an old family secret-and a surrounding cache of remarkable tales - roars to the surface
[A] stunning debut novel ... With magnetic prose and nuanced characters, Palmer has created a story where readers will be invested from page one
