SINOPSE
Meet Zuleika: sassy girl about town, former child bride, A-list Roman babe, black immigrant in ancient Londinium. She knows this city like the back of her hand - its squalor and bustle, its slum tenements and sumptuous villas. But she doesn't know how it feels to fall in love.
Sold in marriage to a rich, fat Roman, stranded in luxurious neglect with only slaves and sex workers for company, it's not long before Zuleika is up to no good. And one day, when the Roman Emperor himself strolls into town and catches her eye, the trouble really starts...
Irresistibly funny and whip-smart, this is a deeply relatable coming-of-age tale with a surprising historical twist.

CRÍTICAS
“The adventures of a sassy, sexy girl about town . . . Funny, engaging, and a daring evocation of the possible genesis of black British history.”—The Independent on Sunday
“Smart, imaginative, and readable . . . A rich farrago of historical fact and outrageous fancy.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Zuleika leads us on a riotous, racy whirl through Roman Londinium—while displaying her lyric gift throughout, and at last her heartbreak to the core, and her own embrace of doom. . . . a captivating tale in verse.”—Robert Fagles

SOBRE O AUTOR
Bernardine Evaristo
Bernardine Evaristo nasceu no sudeste de Londres, em 1959, filha de mãe britânica e pai nigeriano. Autora de uma obra que inclui romance, poesia, contos, teatro e crítica literária, a sua escrita é caracterizada pela experimentação, ousadia e subversão na forma e escolha de temas, onde desafia os mitos e preconceitos das várias diásporas africanas e das suas identidades.
O seu último romance, Rapariga, Mulher, Outra foi, ex-aequo com Os Testamentos (Ed. Bertrand, 2020), de Margaret Atwood, o vencedor do Booker Prize 2019, e Livro do Ano do British Book Awards 2020.
