Colonial history has wiped many stories off the map.

In this magical realist weaving of Surinamese folktale and biography, Inez Aponte follows a fragile thread back in time to meet the mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers that carried her family to safety and freedom. Meet an old crone, shape-shifting animals and magical babies who speak from their mother’s womb, as she explores themes of home, rootedness and belonging.
