Welcome to a world turned upside down. One minute, Doris, from England, is playing hide-and-seek with her sisters in the fields behind their cottage. The next, someone puts a bag over her head and she ends up in the hold of a slave-ship sailing to the New World . . .In this fantastically imaginative inversion of the transatlantic slave trade – in which ‘whytes’ are enslaved by black people – Bernardine Evaristo has created a thought-provoking satire that is as accessible and readable as it is intelligent and insightful. Blonde Roots brings the shackles and cries of long-ago barbarity uncomfortably close and raises timely questions about the society of today.’A bold and brilliant game of counterfactual history. Evaristo keep[s] her wit and anger at a spicy simmer throughout’ Daily Telegraph’So human and real. Re-imagines past and present with refreshing humour and intelligence’ Guardian’A brilliant satire whose flashes of comedy make the underlying tragedy all the more poignant’ Scotland on Sunday
