Longlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize 2019 2019 Walter Scott Prize
Academy recommendation If you tell a story oft enough So it become
true As the nineteenth century draws towards a close, Mary Ann
Sate, an elderly maidservant, sets out to write her truth. She
writes of the Valleys that she loves, of the poisonous rivalry
between her employer's two sons and of a terrible choice which tore
her world apart. Her haunting and poignant story brings to life a
period of strife and rapid social change, and evokes the struggles
of those who lived in poverty and have been forgotten by history.
In this fictional found memoir, novelist Alice Jolly uses the
astonishing voice of Mary Ann to recreate history as seen from a
woman's perspective and to give joyful, poetic voice to the
silenced women of the past.
