WINNER OF THE SAPIR PRIZE 2022'A mesmerising, disquieting tale of family estrangement . Unforgettable' OBSERVER'A striking and memorable novel' MEG WOLITZER'A stone-cold masterwork of psychological tension. Its final pages had me holding my breath' NEW YORK TIMES'Hila Blum is my new favourite writer' LOUISE KENNEDY-------------------------------------------What damage do we do in the blindness of love?Thousands of miles from her home, a woman stands on a dark street, peeking through well-lit windows at two little girls. They are the daughters of her only daughter, the grandchildren she's never met.At the centre of this mesmerising story is the woman's quest to understand how a relationship that began in bliss - a mother besotted with her only child - arrived at a point of such unfathomable distance. Weaving back and forth in time, she unravels memories and long-buried feelings, retracing the infinite acts of parental care, each so mundane and apparently benign, that together may have undermined what she most treasured.With exquisite psychological precision, Blum traces the seemingly insignificant missteps and deceptions of family life, where it's possible to cross the line between protectiveness and possession without even seeing it - and it's uncertain whether, or how, we can find our way back.-------------------------------------------'When I read this book, I felt ... that a new and wonderful occurrence has transpired in Israeli literature' Neri Livne, Haaretz

Everything she knows, she learned from her mother - how to fight, how to be strong, how to grow up in a world shrouded in darkness.When she is sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her, Annis must venture onward through the rich but unforgiving landscapes of the American South alone: from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans, and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. Searching for relief in memories of her mother, she opens herself to a world beyond her own, teeming with spirits of earth, water, history and myth. A reimagining of American slavery as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching, Let Us Descend offers a magnificent portrait of the strength of the human spirit and its ability to emerge from darkness into light. This is a story of beauty, love, rebirth and reclamation - a masterwork for the ages.Praise for Sing, Unburied, Sing'A must' Margaret Atwood'One of the most important writers in America today' Ann Patchett'Ward is a lyrical, visceral storyteller' Daily Mail'A searing, urgent read' Celeste Ng'Plays out like a grand epic .
