Stubborn Archivist

Stubborn Archivist by Fowler, Yara Rodrigues. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780708899076.

When your mother considers another country home, its hard to know where you belong. When the people you live among cant pronounce your name, its hard to know exactly who you are. And when your body no longer feels like your own, its hard to understand your place in the world. This is a novel of growing up between cultures, of finding your space within them and of learning to live in a traumatized body. Our stubborn archivist tells her story through history, through family conversations, through the eyes of her mother, her grandmother and her aunt and slowly she begins to emerge into the world, defining her own sense of identity. An exciting, bold, witty debut, Stubborn Archivist is unlike any book youve read, and one you wont forget.
