Praise for Redemption in Indigo: a novel…
“This is one of those literary works of which it can be said that not a word should be changed.”
—Booklist *Starred Review*
“Lord’s debut, a retelling of a Senegalese folktale, packs a great deal of subtly alluring storytelling into this small package.”
—Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
“Adventure, mystery, familial relations, discourse of power, ananse, the spirit world.”—Kamau Brathwaite (Born to Slow Horses)
“Drawing on a multicultural mélange of narrative traditions—both oral and written—this Barbadian author surprises. She tap dances across the conventional, using it to make spirited sounds.”
—Foreword Reviews
"Lord weaves fantasy into an implied history of the world to reflect on the use of power and human choice."--Carl Brandon Society Blog
