Von der hinteren Coverseite

"A fierce, sensuous novel of women in migration, political and emotional. Concrete and visionary as a dream, relentless as the history it reveals, In Another Place, Not Here is a work of great beauty and moral imagination." -Adrienne Rich

"With this book, this marvellous love letter, Brand emerges as a writer of the first rank--. She combines folklore with poetry in a manner that recalls Michael Ondaatje, and she writes reportage like Mavis Gallant. This book is one of the classics of our culture."- Halifax Chronicle-Herald

"--One of the best Canadian [novels] that I have read in the last ten years. [It] touches the centre of Canadian experience, dealing with our racism, embracing the possibility of confrontation and of cure." -Austin Clarke, The Toronto Star

"This is simply a stunning book." -The Globe and Mail

Aus dem Klappentext

Beautiful and meticulously wrought, set in both Toronto and the Caribbean, this astonishing novel gives voice to the power of love and belonging in a story of two women, profoundly different, each in her own spiritual exile.
