β¦ Synopsis
βI read Stubborn Archivist in a ravenous gulp. Itβs stunning: so articulate about what it means to live between two languages and countries, tenderly unraveling the knots of unbelonging.β
βOlivia Laing, author of The Lonely City and Crudo
For fans of Chemistry and Normal People : A mesmerizing and witty debut novel about a young woman growing up between two disparate cultures, and the singular identity she finds along the way**
But where are you really from?
When your mother considers another country home, itβs hard to know where you belong. When the people you live among canβt pronounce your name, itβs hard to know exactly who you are. And when your body no longer feels like your own, itβs hard to understand your place in the world.
In Stubborn Archivist, a young British Brazilian woman from South London navigates growing up between two cultures and into a fuller understanding of her body, relying on signposts such as history, family conversation, and the eyes of the women who have shaped herβher mother, grandmother, and aunt. Our stubborn archivist takes us through first love and loss, losing and finding home, trauma and healing, and various awakenings of sexuality and identity. Shot through the novel are the narrator's trips to Brazil, sometimes alone, often with family, where she accesses a different side of herselfβone, she begins to realize, that is as much of who she is as anything else.
A hypnotic and bold debut, Stubborn Archivist is as singular as its narrator; a novel you won't soon forget. **
