Description
Stubborn Archivist is a mesmerizing and witty debut novel about a young woman growing up between two disparate cultures. As she navigates her identity, she finds herself torn between two worlds.
The story follows the protagonist as she grapples with unbelonging, trying to understand where she truly belongs when her mother considers another country home. Along the way, she uncovers a fuller understanding of her body and herself through signposts such as history, family conversation, and the eyes of those who have shaped her.
This hypnotic novel is a singular exploration of identity, trauma, healing, and self-discovery, shot through with the narrator's trips to Brazil, where she accesses a different side of herself. A bold debut that will leave a lasting impression.
