Review:
"* "First novels don't: often make my heart beat faster...Bernardine Evaristo is a gifted black writer. Her LARA is a beautifully written novel in verse" New Statesman Books of the Year"
From the Publisher:
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE EMPEROR'S BABE
'Evaristo's triumph is to transmute politics and history into a glittering fiction whose words leap off the page into life. Anarchic, she calls it, but brilliant would do just as well.' The Times
'Evaristo's triumph is to transmute politics and history into a glittering fiction whose words leap off the page into life. Anarchic, she calls it, but brilliant would do just as well.' The Times
'The Emperor's Babe makes you feel that you are reading something that has never before been attempted - a sensation to savour...it is a fast exciting read whose occasional bittersweet notes build until it turns, like a ballad, from comedy to tragedy...Brushing off the dust of 1,800 years like a cobweb, Evaristo's golden lads and girls dance in the sun before us, glistening, frail and real. Vivat Zuleika.' Sunday Times
'Evaristo is youthful and daring, with hidden depths of wisdom and hilarity, and she has delivered an entirely new concept for the historical novel, as well as the London novel.' Independent
