{"product_id":"at-the-full-and-change-of-the-moon","title":"At the Full and Change of the Moon","description":"Written with lyrical fire in a chorus of vividly rendered voices, Dionne Brand's second novel is an epic of the African diaspora across the globe. It begins in 1824 on Trinidad, where Marie-Ursule, queen of a secret slave society called the Sans Peur Regiment, plots a mass suicide. The end of the Sans Peur is also the beginning of a new world, for Marie-Ursule cannot kill her young daughter, Bola -- who escapes to live free and bear a dynasty of descendants who spill out across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. Haunted by a legacy of passion and oppression, the children of Bola pass through two world wars and into the confusion, estrangement, and violence of the late twentieth century.  Brand has] a lush and exuberant style that may put some readers in mind of Toni Morrison or Edwidge Danticat. -- William Ferguson, The New York Times Book Review; A delicately structured, beautifully written novel infused with rare emotional clarity. -- Julie Wheelwright, The Independent (London); Rich, elegiac, almost biblical in its rhythms . . . One of the essential works of our times. -- The Globe \u0026amp; Mail (Toronto)","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39325846044772,"sku":"9780802137234","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/at-the-full-and-change-of-the-moon","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
