"Like Zadie Smith's On Beauty, Prospero's Daughter is a classic take on an enduring classic. Elizabeth Nunez takes us on a journey through the heart and murky underbelly of forbidden love. This is probably her finest work to date."
-Colin Channer, author of Passing Through
"From the Hardcover edition."
Advance praise for Prospero's Daughter
"[An] exquisite retelling of 'The Tempest'. . . . Masterful. . . . Simply wonderful."
-Kirkus Review (starred review)
"[Elizabeth] Nunez critiques colonialist assumptions about race and class in this ambitious reworking of The Tempest, set in her native Trinidad in the early 1960s. . . . [It has] strong themes and dramatic ironies. Readers will find her love story-which has a refreshingly happy ending-very sensitively told."
-Publishers Weekly
"A stunning achievement. With fluid, vivid writing, Elizabeth Nunez guides the reader through a magical and dangerous landscape. Beneath the unrelenting tropical sun, against the currents and tides of the sea, a Caribbean island of secrets and shadows is laid bare. This is a novel of thrilling twists and turns. In painterly prose, Nunez unveils a landscape tempered by colonialism, unmasks the colonizer, and lifts the curtain that has been drawn across history."
-Michelle Cliff, author of Free Enterprise
