Stubborn Archivist

Written by Yara Rodrigues Fowler

Narrated by Carolina Santos Read

When your mother considers another country home, it's hard to know where you belong. When the people you live among can't pronounce your name, it's hard to know exactly who you are. And when your body no longer feels like your own, it's hard to understand your place in the world.

This is a novel of growing up between cultures, of finding your space within them and of learning to live in a traumatised body. Our stubborn archivist tells her story through history, through family conversations, through the eyes of her mother, her grandmother and her aunt, and slowly she begins to emerge into the world, defining her own sense of identity.
