There are moments in life we all wish we could forget. Moments too embarrassing, too painful, or too complicated. Cora used to long for this kind of oblivion, convinced she couldn't bear the weight of her memories. But when her wish was unexpectedly granted, she found herself in a relentless search for the person she once was. As an immigrant who doesn't even remember that she left her homeland, Cora is haunted by questions. Is it truly better to forget when the pain is overwhelming, leaving others to piece together the fragments of your story? Can you really escape the past when you no longer remember it? Are you still yourself without the memories that shaped you? And do the stories of our lives repeat when we're oblivious to them? Cora's journey reveals that the essence of who we are is deeply tied to our past and how we navigate the present.

A stunning, powerful debut novel set against the backdrop of the Cambodian War, perfect for fans of Chris Cleave and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience. 'In the Shadow of the Banyanis one of the most extraordinary and beautiful acts of storytelling I have ever encountered' Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand 'Ratner is a fearless writer, and the novel explores important themes such as power, the relationship between love and guilt, and class. Most remarkably, it depicts the lives of characters forced to live in extreme circumstances, and investigates how that changes them. To read In the Shadow of the Banyan is to be left with a profound sense of being witness to a tragedy of history' Guardian 'This is an extraordinary debut … as beautiful as it is heartbreaking' Mail on Sunday

And round and round it goes. / Once we were in perfect harmony / but when lovers became foes / this tale turned sudden tragedy. He believed me to stay the hunted for all time / but then he went and crossed the line. / Blood will darken the earth / and it won't be mine. / Lets see how long he'll be fine / and how much he's worth; / If what he did is what I deserved. / I think his cruelty birthed / something he can't control anymore. / A docile woman with an iron core. I know who I will blame in the very end. / But the story's always told by the one / that survives after the war is won. / So the last word will depend / on who will write it. / Until then its undecided. Zwölf englische Gedichte - ein Leidensweg, der zum Rachefeldzug wird. Kate ist seit Jahren in einer von Gewalt geprägten Beziehung gefangen.
