Winner of the Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year 'a beguiling
mixture of poetry, moving prose and magical realism' - Stephen
McGinty, The Sunday Times Jeda is a girl on the cusp of adulthood,
living in Edinburgh; with a white father and a black mother, she
feels self-conscious and out of place. Her feelings of alienation
allow the stories of the shapeshifting Shadowman, who embodies all
that is negative, to feed on her doubts and insecurities. The death
of her mother, Rahami, gives the Shadowman an opportunity to
control Jeda through her grief and his lies, but her mother's last
gift to her daughter was a box of stories. When the box is flung
open, the stories escape, setting in motion an incredible journey.
Jeda learns more about her African ancestry through tales of
slavery, cruelty and colonisation, but she also discovers pride and
love and sacrifice, ultimately embracing her dual heritage and her
unique place in the world. Filled with tragedy, wonder and magic,
Blood and Gold explores the themes of loss and oppression, while
asking us to examine our own identities, attitudes, and humanity.
