We Are Bridges
Cassandra Lane£15.99
When Cassandra Lane finds herself pregnant at thirty-seven, the knowledge sends her on a poignant exploration of memory to prepare for her ‘late’ entry into motherhood. She moves between the twentieth-century rural South and present-day Los Angeles, reimagining the intimate life of her great-grandparents Mary and Burt Bridges, and Burt’s lynching at the hands of vengeful white men in his southern town. Haunting and poetic, this debut traces the strange fruit borne from the roots of personal loss in one Black family – and considers how to take back one’s American story.
