Description
Lara is a powerful semi-autobiographical novel-in-verse that explores the complexities of identity and belonging. The story follows the life of Lara, a mixed-race girl raised in a white suburb of London, as she navigates her way through childhood, early adulthood, and adulthood, tracing her ancestry back over 150 years and across three continents. Born into a family of eight children, Lara's journey is marked by conflict and struggle as she seeks to understand herself and her place in the world. Her family's history is one of migration and resilience, shaped by the experiences of Irish Catholics, German immigrants, and proud Yorubas, who have all left their homelands in search of a better life. This new edition of Bernardine Evaristo's first novel is a rewritten and expanded version of the original, first published in 1997.
