Description
A powerful de-colonial retelling of Mansfield Park, exploring identity, culture, race and love. This Motherless Land is a spirited exploration of culture and kinship - of how we belong, and to whom. When Funke's mother dies in an accident, she's sent to live with her maternal family in England. Against a backdrop of condescension and mild neglect, sensible Funke strives to fit in, determined to become one of them. Free-spirited Liv has always wanted to break free of her joyless family, to be nothing like them. The two cousins give each other what they need most - love. This Motherless Land bridges three decades and two continents, delving into the thorny territories of race and culture and belonging. At its heart is a story about love and how it can make the difference between surviving and thriving.
