“ A contemporary family saga, imbued with delicate irony and tremendous psychological and political acumen. Italian literature has been waiting years for a novel like this .” Vincenzo Latronico, author of Perfection
Translated from the Italian by Lucy Rand, in Tangerinn Mina is thirty years old and leading life in London built with great care but little spontaneity when she hears her father has died. After returning home for the funeral, Mina ends up staying in her small seaside town, where her Moroccan father ran a beach bar frequented mostly by immigrants. Surrounded by the sea, Mina will find that roots are a fleeting dream-a desire to find a common history that will allow her to forget, at least at times, the wounds of abandonment.
Emanuela Anechoum has written for Vice, Doppiozero, and Marvin Rivista. Tangerinn , winner of the Selezione Bancarella 2024 Prize, is her first novel.
In conversation with writer, essayist and critic, Naoise Dolan, author of best-selling novels Exciting Times and The Happy Couple.
