**โOlivia Laing, author ofThe Lonely CityandCrudo
For fans ofChemistryandNormal 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 areย youreallyfrom?
When your mother considers another country home, itโs hard to know where you belong. When the people you live among canโt pronounce your name, itโs hard to know exactly who you are. And when your body no longer feels like your own, itโs hard to understand your place in the world.
In*Stubborn Archivist,*a young British Brazilianย 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 herโher mother, grandmother, and aunt. Our stubborn archivist takes us through first love and loss, losing and finding home, trauma and healing,ย and various awakenings of sexuality and identity. Shot through the novel are the narratorโs trips to Brazil, sometimes alone, often with family, where she accesses a different side of herselfโone, she begins to realize, that is as much of who she is as anything else.
A hypnotic and bold debut,Stubborn Archivistย is as singular as its narrator; a novel you wonโt soon forget.
