Sobre este artículo
Hardback. New. <b>âGripping, mythic, bone-pulverising ... A spectacular achievementâ </b> ANTHONY DOERR â<b>Jesmyn Ward is one of the greatest writers of all time. And <i>Let Us Descend</i>, once again, proves itâ </b> JACQUELINE WOODSON <b>âTranscendent ... The best book Iâve read in yearsâ</b> LOUISE KENNEDY <b> âStunning ... Will grip you from the first word to the lastâ </b> NATHAN HARRIS ----------------------- <b><i>The first weapon I ever held was my mother's hand.</i></b> On a slave plantation in the Carolinas, Annis has survived in the light of her motherâs resilience, comforted by stories of her African warrior grandmother. Everything she knows, she learned from her mother â how to fight, how to be strong, how to grow up in a world shrouded in darkness. When she is sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her, Annis must venture onward through the rich but unforgiving landscapes of the American South alone: from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans, and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. Searching for relief in memories of her mother, she opens herself to a world beyond her own, teeming with spirits of earth, water, history and myth. A reimagining of American slavery as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching, <i>Let Us Descend </i>offers a magnificent portrait of the strength of the human spirit and its ability to emerge from darkness into light. This is a story of beauty, love, rebirth and reclamation â a masterwork for the ages. <b>Praise for <i>Sing, Unburied, Sing</i></b> âA mustâ <b>Margaret Atwood</b> âI am a huge fan of Jesmyn Ward's work, and this book proves that she is one of the most important writers in America todayâ <b>Ann Patchett</b> âWard is a lyrical, visceral storytellerâ <b><i>Daily Mail</i></b> âA visceral and intimate drama that plays out like a grand epic ⦠Staggeringâ <b>Marlon James</b> âA searing, urgent readâ <b>Celeste Ng</b>
