Produktinformasjon

Oppdag en ny verden med This Motherless Land

This Motherless Land er en gripende roman som tar leserne med på en reise gjennom identitet, kultur, rase og kjærlighet. Skrevet av den prisbelønte forfatteren av WAHALA, er denne boken en moderne og dekolonial gjenfortelling av klassikeren MANSFIELD PARK.

Kjærlighet, familie og tilhørighet

Når Funke opplever tapet av sin mor, sendes hun fra Lagos til England for å bo hos sin mors familie. Her møter hun sin frie og eventyrlystne kusine Liv. I et miljø preget av condescension og mild forsømmelse, bygger de en dyp forbindelse som gir begge det de trenger mest: kjærlighet og støtte.

  • Fengende fortelling: Boken utforsker samspillet mellom to kulturer, og gir leserne et unikt perspektiv på hvordan fortiden former nåtiden.
  • Emosjonelt ladet: En intens reise som berører temaer som sorg, familieforhold og personlig vekst.
  • Universelle temaer: Kan de unnslippe arven etter sine mødre? Leserne vil bli trukket inn i denne tidløse fortellingen.
