Il filo parte da Amma, drammaturga nera britannica in procinto di mettere in scena la sua prima opera fuori dalla nicchia, e collega le altre undici storie, tutte diverse, tutte importanti per la costituzione di un arazzo complicato e meraviglioso.

L'autrice del fortunato "Ragazza, donna, altro", racconta qui la schiavitù in un modo nuovo, diverso. Immagina un mondo in cui la tratta atlantica degli schiavi viene ribaltata lungo la linea del colore: sono i neri ad aver fondato un impero coloniale a partire dal Regno Unito di Grande Ambossa, e i bianchi a essere razziati dall'Europa e trasportati come schiavi al di là del mare, nelle Isole del Giappone Occidentale. Ripercorriamo la storia di Doris alternando la contemporaneità della protagonista e il suo personale viaggio verso la libertà.

Als erste Schwarze Frau erhielt sie 2019 den Booker Prize und steht nun im Mittelpunkt der Literaturwelt.
