A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR
‘A remarkable literary debut . . . Part memoir, part travelogue, Motherlands is ultimately an investigation of how we come to understand the past at all’ Guardian
Our creation stories begin with the notion of expulsion from our ‘original’ home. We spend our lives struggling to return to the place we fit in, the body we belong in, the people that understand us, the life we were meant for. But the places we remember are ever-changing, and ever since we left, they continue to alter themselves, betraying the deal made when leaving.
Australian writer Amaryllis Gacioppo has been raised on stories of original homes, on the Palermo of her mother, the Benghazi of her grandmother and the Turin of her great-grandmother. But what does belonging mean when you're not sure of where home is? Is the modern nation state defined by those who flourish there or by those who aren’t welcome? Is visiting the land of one’s ancestors a return, a chance to feel complete, or a fantasy?
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.©2022 Amaryllis Gacioppo (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー
A brilliant exploration of mixed heritage … Gacioppo traces her ancestral footsteps through four cities; Turin, Benghazi, Rome and Palermo … Sometimes, when Gacioppo hits a wall in her efforts to reach back in time, her solution is to enter a reverie in which she imagines what happened. These passages are deliciously written, rich and evocative. They sparkle even amid the crystalline prose of Motherlands as a whole
The idea of home - whether real or imagined - animates this blend of memoir and history . . . and the result is unusual, intimate, and often moving (Matt Elton)
Motherlands by Amaryllis Gacioppo (Bloomsbury, £20) is an appropriately hard-to-pin-down sort of book from a writer gifted with multiple heritages surveying the landscapes of her own and her family’s pasts. Note: pasts necessarily in the plural, like those titular motherlands. My favourite books of this type find the big questions (belonging, memory etc) in small, concrete things: an old photo, an old building, a map. It’s not a new approach, but few do it this well. (Daniel Hahn)
