KENNEDY-----------------------The first weapon I ever held was my
mother's hand.On a slave plantation in the Carolinas, Annis has
survived in the light of her mother's resilience, comforted by
stories of her African warrior grandmother. Everything she knows,
she learned from her mother - how to fight, how to be strong, how
to grow up in a world shrouded in darkness.When she is sold south
by the white enslaver who fathered her, Annis must venture onward
through the rich but unforgiving landscapes of the American South
alone: from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets
of New Orleans, and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar
plantation. Searching for relief in memories of her mother, she
opens herself to a world beyond her own, teeming with spirits of
earth, water, history and myth. A reimagining of American slavery
as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching, Let Us Descend
offers a magnificent portrait of the strength of the human spirit
and its ability to emerge from darkness into light. This is a story
of beauty, love, rebirth and reclamation - a masterwork for the
ages.Praise for Sing, Unburied, Sing'A must' Margaret Atwood'One of

Britt-Marie je vraj pasívne agresívna... Pche, také klamstvo! Keby
ľudia neboli neporiadni, nerobili by špinu a škrabance, ONA by
nemusela kričať! Ale to je už jedno. Britt práve ukončila svoje
40-ročné manželstvo a odmietla byť ďalej ženou v domácnosti.
Koniec! Začne nanovo v Borgu! Ibaže Borg zasiahla finančná kríza
tak silno, že tu okrem jednej smradľavej pizzérie nič neostalo.
Teda až na... futbal. Tomu ale Britt-Marie vôbec nerozumie. Deti z
Borgu však trénera zúfalo potrebujú, a tak vezmú naozaj
kohokoľvek... To, že Britt to miesto nechce, ich vlastne vôbec
nezaujíma. Lenže keď ju pozve na rande miestny policajt a ešte si
nechtiac v soláriu zlomí ruku, zdá sa, že osud má s Britt v Borgu
predsa len svoje plány. Preložila Mária Bratová
