In 1824, on the island of Trinidad, Marie Ursule, queen of a secret society of militant slaves, plots a mass suicide—a quiet, passionate act of revolt. But she cannot bring herself to kill her small daughter, Bola, whom she smuggles away in the early dawn light. As Bola's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren spill out across the world to America, Canada and Europe, they find their lives both haunted and vindicated by the dreams and passions of their defiant ancestor. The interconnected stories of six generations of Marie Ursule's descendants form a lush, beguiling and beautifully told history of dispossession, and bring this Governor General's Award-winning writer into the front rank of the world's novelists.

Reseñas de la crítica

"Dionne Brand has two gifts that are incendiary in combination: a concise and intelligent grasp of the subtleties of emotion and an apparently effortless facility with language. The result is an extraordinary ability to capture the flicker of experience."
—The Globe and Mail


Praise for In Another Place, Not Here

A New York Times Editor's Choice and a New York Times Notable Book for 1998

"A must-read book for resisters and dreamers, and for those who believe that the integrity of individual and collective lives cannot be sustained without the ceaseless creation of words and language that reflect and insist on our humanity."
—MS Magazine

"Passionate in its attention to emotional nuance and visual detail, In Another Place, Not Here weds beauty and a fierce intelligence."
—The New York Times

"[It] reads with the urgent intensity of a wail that continues to echo."
—The Washington Post


Praise for Bread Out of Stone

"Brand . . . is one of the freshest, fiercest voices in Canadian letters."
—Edmonton Journal

"In this collection [of essays] she can be seen as a cultural critic of uncompromising courage, an artist in language and ideas, an intellectual conscience for her country."
—Adrienne Rich
