Critics Review
Vital, important and humane. Everyone needs to read this book - Jenn Ashworth
Deftly explores generational trauma and the nature of enterprise, and gives a perspective on slavery not often exploredRemembered has drawn comparisons with Toni Morrison’s Beloved: both are unflinching and haunting in how they address the legacy of the slave trade. Battle-Felton’s voice is entirely her own, however, and this book feels vital for our time … Remembered will stay with you long after reading - Irish TimesIt’s Philadelphia, 1910, and Battle-Felton’s debut historical novel traces the story of Spring from the 1840s to the day of the crash, through the incomprehensible cruelties of not only slavery but the many decades that followed - FT (Summer books of 2019)Yvonne Battle-Felton’s debut, Remembered, longlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction has been compared to Toni Morrison’s seminal 1987 novel Beloved. And rightly so, since both are powerful, unapologetic, revealing works of historical fiction - HeraldAbout The Author
