    “Bragende roman om at bide i sig, holde ud og spejle sig i de slavegjortes historie.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️POLITIKEN”En meget væsentlig amerikansk roman, der både underholder og maner til eftertanke.”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐JYLLANDS-POSTENAiley Pearl tilbringer sin barndoms somre hos bedstemoren på en tidligere bomuldsplantage i sydstatslandsbyen Chicasetta i Georgia. Her har hendes mors familie boet, siden deres forfædre blev fragtet fra Afrika som slaver. Under besøgene får Ailey fortalt både smukke og tragiske historier om sin families fortid, og det bliver efterhånden tydeligt, at Aileys og hendes søstres oplevelser er som ekkoer af de traumer, der gennem generationer har mærket slægtens kvinder. For at komme overens med sin identitet og finde sin plads i verden dykker Ailey som voksen dybt ned i sin slægts historie. Her opdager hun en arv, ikke kun af undertrykkelse og slaveri, men også af befrielseskamp og uafhængighed. En arv, som også er historien – og sangen – om Amerika. Romanen er udpeget af blandt andre The New York Times, Washington Post og Barack Obama som en af de bedste bøger i 2021 og har samtidig været nomineret til adskillige prestigefyldte litterære priser. “En roman af episke dimensioner. En kærlighedssang og et sorgskrift, et historisk drama og et klogt psykologisk portræt … Den kunne nemt gå hen og blive én af de bedste oversatte bøger til dansk i 2023.”INFORMATION“Fremragende og storslået fortælling af den slags, vi kun ser én gang i hvert årti.” The Washington Post“En triumf af en romandebut.” The New York Times Book Review “En exceptionel debut ... engagerer sig dybt og empatisk i historien.” The Guardian “En stærk og øm coming-of-age.” TIME “En fænomenal saga.” Observer “Jeg har aldrig læst noget lignende. Den opslugte mig fuldstændig.” Oprah Winfrey “Sexet, konfronterende, tragisk.” San Francisco Chronicle “Den slags fortælling, der fortjener sin egen plads i solen.” Star Tribune “Enestående.” Daily Mail “En ekstraordinær præstation.” The Spectator

    A magisterial epic, an intimate yet sweeping novel that chronicles the journey of one American family, from the centuries of the colonial slave trade through the Civil War to our own tumultuous era. The great scholar, W. E. B. Du Bois, once wrote about the Problem of race in America, and what he called Double Consciousness, a sensitivity that every African American possesses in order to survive. Since childhood, Ailey Pearl Garfield has understood Du Bois's words all too well. Bearing the names of two formidable Black Americans--the revered choreographer Alvin Ailey and her great grandmother Pearl, the descendant of enslaved Georgians and tenant farmers--Ailey carries Du Bois's Problem on her shoulders.Ailey is reared in the north in the City but spends summers in the small Georgia town of Chicasetta, where her mother's family has lived since their ancestors arrived from Africa in bondage. From an early age, Ailey fights a battle for belonging that's made all the more difficult by a hovering trauma, as well as the whispers of women--her mother, Belle, her sister, Lydia, and a maternal line reaching back two centuries--that urge Ailey to succeed in their stead.To come to terms with her own identity, Ailey embarks on a journey through her family's past, uncovering the shocking tales of generations of ancestors--Indigenous, Black, and white--in the deep South. In doing so Ailey must learn to embrace her full heritage, a legacy of oppression and resistance, bondage and independence, cruelty and resilience that is the story--and the song--of America itself.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
