Congratulations to Amaryllis Gacioppo on the publication of her non-fiction debut, Motherlands, by Bloomsbury earlier this month.
Farrah Jarral, writing in The Guardian calls the book ‘A remarkable literary debut . . . Part memoir, part travelogue, Motherlands is ultimately an investigation of how we come to understand the past at all.’
Bloomsbury describe the book as “Weaving memoir and cultural history through modern political history, examining notions of citizenship, statelessness, memory and identity and the very notion of home, Motherlands heralds the arrival of a major talent that opens one’s eyes to new ways of seeing.”
We wish Amaryllis every success with Motherlands and hope it continues to enthrall readers.
Amaryllis Gacioppo’s short story, Days, was shortlisted for the 2014 Bristol Short Story Prize. It is available in our Volume 7 anthology from Tangent Books. https://www.tangentbooks.co.uk/shop/bristol-short-story-prize-anthology-volume-7
