Reviews
The racial politics of a small town in Vermont, as seen through Lila's eyes, provides an illuminating counterplay between Caribbean and American Blackness., "The latest novel by Elizabeth Nunez offers a thrilling and timely perspective on the immigrant experience, racism and injustice in the contemporary U.S." -- Ms. Magazine , included in 2022 Reads for the Rest of Us roundup "Powerful in message . . . An engaging, warm-hearted, page-turner of a novel." -- New West Indian Guide "Timely and essential, Now Lila Knows is a luminous story of discovery and the consequences of being Black in America." --Bernice L. McFadden, author of The Book of Harlan " Now Lila Knows is a tale of empathy that comes at the necessary cost, however delayed, of losing one's innocence, of trading it for a harsher, more urgent reality. By encircling the reader in what they might think they know--about America, about the Caribbean, and the spaces in between--Elizabeth Nunez challenges us to answer for ourselves not only what we know, but also what we are prepared to do. The magic of this novel is that it opens a window to Black life in America through the eyes of an immigrant. A must read." --Kevin Adonis Browne, OCM Bocas Prize winner, author of High Mas Praise for Elizabeth Nunez: "Nunez is one of the finest and most necessary voices in contemporary American and Caribbean fiction." --Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin "Nunez has always had the power to get to the essence of what makes human beings take right and wrong turns." --Edward P.

In a story structure as rhythmic as the ebb and flow of the water surrounding Trinidad and Barbados, this revisiting of the classic story of King Lear [is a] dazzling, epic triumph." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Even in Paradise Not for Everyday Use won the 2015 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Nonfiction and was long-listed for the 2015 OCM Bocas Prize in Nonfiction "Nunez ponders the cultural, racial, familial, social, and personal experiences that led to what she ultimately understands was a deeply loving union between her parents. A beautifully written exploration of the complexities of marriage and family life." --Booklist, starred review, on Not for Everyday Use "[A] narrative that feels like a close friend talking about her past . . . An insightful, generous story." --Oprah.com, on Not for Everyday Use Boundaries was a finalist for the 2012 NAACP Image Award in Literature "Many moments of elegant, overarching insight bind the personal to the collective past." --New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice, on Boundaries "Nunez deftly dissects the immigrant experience in light of cultural traditions that impact family roles, professional obligations, and romantic opportunities." --Booklist, on Boundaries Anna In-Between won the 2010 PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Award and was long-listed for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award "A psychologically and emotionally astute family portrait, with dark themes like racism, cancer, and the bittersweet longing of the immigrant." --New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice, on Anna In-Between "Nunez . . . has created a moving and insightful character study while delving into the complexities of identity politics.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
