At the Full and Change of the Moon by Dionne Brand

5.0

This book is fairly complex. Playing with Western assumptions about life writing and temporality, it juxtaposes different stories in an enchanting way. Negotiating the legacy of slavery up to the 1980s, the book shows that trauma can endure several generations and is not bound to place neither.
For me, the book is both: unbelievably sad but somehow, inbetween what is obvious, also full of hope.
