Where Dogs Bark with Their Tails (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), the award-winning debut novel by Guadeloupean-French Estelle-Sarah Brulle (translated by Julia Grawemeyer) moves between the rural countryside of Guadeloupe, the colonial city of Pointe-à-Pitre, and metropolitan France, unravelling an epic family story centred on the character of Aunt Antoine. The legacies of colonialism, forbidden love across boundaries of race and class, and the power of stories to “reconcile past, present, and future” are at the heart of this vivid narrative.
