Praise for Palmares

'Gayl Jones is a literary legend . . . A once-in-a-lifetime work of literature, the kind that changes your understanding of the world' Yara Rodrigues Fowler, Guardian

'A story woven with extraordinary complexity, depth and skill . . . After suffering the author's absence for far too long, we can rejoice at her return' Robert Jones, Jr, New York Times

'Page after breathtaking page, her prose is intricate, mesmerising, and endlessly inventive and subversive. Palmares is absolutely stunning!' Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies

'A masterfully absorbing, mythic work from a vital voice. The gods have conspired to gift us a new book from Gayl Jones and my what a gloriously eddying read' Irenosen Okojie, author of Nudibranch

'Astonishingly rich in character and incident, filled with magic and mystery' The Sunday Times
