Recensione
Outstanding . . . Jane Harris pitches you headfirst into this outstanding, heartbreaking story of siblings, slavery and the savagery of the colonial past. (Sunday Express)
One of my favourite books of the year, Jane Harris's exuberant yet often desperate Sugar Money also told of the silenced, in this case by slavery. Only in the joy and power of language did they experience freedom. (Lesley McDowell Herald 'Books of the Year')
A thrilling adventure. (Sunday Times)
Harris builds a lush sense of place, and the pace and tension of a rip-roaring adventure here, with derring-do and double-crossing. (The Times)
Through masterful detail, Harris shows the dehumanisation of the brothers and their fellow slaves . . . Beautifully cadenced. (Irish Times)
Rip-roaring adventure and unspeakable tragedy . . . However, it's Lucien's voice that steals the show. (Daily Mail)
A vivid, perfectly paced tale of slavery and freedom, innocence and experience, love and despair, Sugar Money is told in an unforgettably beautiful language. What a stunning writer Jane Harris is. (Amanda Craig)
A story that swells with empathy and hope. Terrific stuff. (Big Issue)
It is Lucien's voice, bright and upbeat, in an enchanting mix of English, French and Creole, which really makes the novel. His language is deliciously descriptive. (Scotland on Sunday)
Descrizione del libro
Jane Harris's third novel is both a heart-breaking trip into our troubled colonial past, and a stunning act of literary ventriloquism.
