Über diesen Titel

The baby of the family, Mika Tabor spends much of her time in the care of loved ones, listening to their stories and witnessing their struggles. On Redwood Court, the cul-de-sac in the all-Black working-class suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, where her grandparents live, Mika learns important lessons from the people who raise her – her exhausted parents, who work long hours at multiple jobs while still making sure their kids experience the adventure of family vacations; her older sister, who in a house filled with Motown would rather listen to Alanis Morrisette; her retired grandparents, children of Jim Crow, who realized their own vision of success when they bought their house on the Court in the 1960s, imagining it filled with future generations; and the many neighbours who hold tight to the community they've built, committed to fostering joy and love in an America so insistent on seeing Black people stumble and fall.

With visceral clarity and powerful prose, Dameron reveals the devastation of being made to feel invisible and the transformative power of being seen. Redwood Court is a celebration of extraordinary, ordinary people striving to achieve their own American dreams.

Kritikerstimmen

'A triumph ... Redwood Court is storytelling at its best: tender, vivid, and richly complicated.' (Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award–winning author of Red at the Bone)
'A generously transportive novel, one that thoughtfully renders not only each of its characters but also the nuances of its geographies ... The language within it echoes, feels familiar and warm.' (Hanif Abdurraqib, author of National Book Award finalist A Little Devil in America)
'A beautiful exploration of a family putting down roots despite the world being against them, and choosing to love one another – the broken parts and the whole – with every breath in their lungs and every beat of their enormous, powerful hearts ... I found this family’s story deeply moving.' (Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful)
'The lives of several generations of a southern Black family are dramatized in interconnected stories in poet Dameron’s captivating fiction debut.' (Booklist)
'This novel is a heartrending celebration of the ties that bind, and a poetic one at that.' (Christine Pride, co-author of We Are Not Like Them)
