<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Named one of the "Los Angeles Times'" Ten Best Books of the Year, Brand's second novel begins in 1824 Trinidad and spans over 100 years detailing a family's tragic history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Written with lyrical fire in a chorus of vividly rendered voices, Dionne Brand's second novel is an epic of the African diaspora across the globe. It begins in 1824 on Trinidad, where Marie-Ursule, queen of a secret slave society called the Sans Peur Regiment, plots a mass suicide. The end of the Sans Peur is also the beginning of a new world, for Marie-Ursule cannot kill her young daughter, Bola -- who escapes to live free and bear a dynasty of descendants who spill out across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. Haunted by a legacy of passion and oppression, the children of Bola pass through two world wars and into the confusion, estrangement, and violence of the late twentieth century. [Brand has] a lush and exuberant style that may put some readers in mind of Toni Morrison or Edwidge Danticat. -- William Ferguson, The New York Times Book Review; A delicately structured, beautifully written novel infused with rare emotional clarity. -- Julie Wheelwright, The Independent (London); Rich, elegiac, almost biblical in its rhythms . . . One of the essential works of our times. -- The Globe & Mail (Toronto)
