Memphis
»Eine rauschhafte Hymne auf Schwarze Frauen.« The New York Times Book Review Auf der Flucht vor ihrem gewalttätigen Ehemann kehrt Miriam mit ihren Kindern zurück nach Memphis in das Elternhaus, das ihr Vater in den Vierzigerjahren selbst gebaut hat. Beim letzten Besuch war ihre Tochter Joan noch ein kleines Kind, sie erinnert sich weder an die Geschäftigkeit der Beale Street an einem lauen Sommerabend noch an den Geruch der Blumen vor der Veranda. Doch als sich nun die Tür zum Haus öffnet, stürzen tief verdrängte Ereignisse auf Joan ein - dunkle, abgründige Erinnerungen an ihren Cousin Derek. Das alte Haus hält zahlreiche Geschichten bereit, von denen niemand mehr spricht - und auch Memphis hat sich seit der Zeit von Joans Großeltern verändert: lebhafte Straßen, die einst Heimat von Bluesmusik waren, gelten nun als gefährlich. Tara M. Stringfellow erzählt in einem vielstimmigen Porträt von drei Generationen einer Schwarzen Familie im legendären Memphis und von einer jungen Frau, die das Vermächtnis ihrer Familie ändern kann.

Memphis
A spellbinding debut novel tracing three generations of a Southern Black family and one daughter’s discovery that she has the power to change her family’s legacy.In the summer of 1995, ten-year-old Joan, her mother, and her younger sister flee her father’s violence, seeking refuge at her mother’s ancestral home in Memphis. Half a century ago, Joan’s grandfather built this majestic house in the historic Black neighborhood of Douglass--only to be lynched days after becoming the first Black detective in Memphis. This wasn’t the first time violence altered the course of Joan’s family’s trajectory, and she knows it won’t be the last. Longing to become an artist, Joan pours her rage and grief into sketching portraits of the women of North Memphis--including their enigmatic neighbor Miss Dawn, who seems to know something about curses. Unfolding over seventy years through a chorus of voices, Memphis weaves back and forth in time to show how the past and future are forever intertwined. It is only when Joan comes to see herself as a continuation of a long matrilineal tradition--and the women in her family as her guides to healing--that she understands that her life does not have to be defined by vengeance. That the sole weapon she needs is her paintbrush. Inspired by the author's own family history, Memphis--the Black fairy tale she always wanted to read--explores the complexity of what we pass down, not only in our families, but in our country: police brutality and justice, powerlessness and freedom, fate and forgiveness, doubt and faith, sacrifice and love.
