A daughter’s future and her father’s past converge in Emily Raboteau’s explosive first novel exploring identity, assimilation, and the legacy of race
“My father is black and my mother is white and my brother is a vegetable.” When Emma Boudreaux’s older brother, Bernie, winds up in a coma after a freak accident, it’s as if she loses a part of herself. All their lives, he has served as her compass, her stronger, better half: Bernie was brilliant when Emma was smart, charismatic when she was awkward, and confident when she was shy. Only Bernie was able to navigate-if not always diplomatically-the terrain of their biracial identity. Now, as the chronic rash that’s flared up throughout her life returns with a vengeance, Emma is sleepwalking through her first year at college, left alone to grow into herself.
The key to Emma’s self-discovery lies in her father’s past. Esteemed Princeton professor Bernard Boudreaux is emotionally absent and secretive about his family…
