<i>Remembered</i> has drawn comparisons with <b>Toni Morrison's <i>Beloved</i></b>: both are <b>unflinching and haunting</b> in how they address the legacy of the slave trade. Battle-Felton's voice is entirely her own, however, and this book feels vital for our time . . . [this] debut is not an easy read and nor should it be. Fortunate are those of us that only experience such brutality in the pages of a book. Afterwards we emerge more enlightened with our hearts and minds expanded. <b><i>Remembered </i>will stay with you long after reading</b>

Irish Times

<b>It's Philadelphia, 1910, and Battle-Felton's debut historical novel traces the story of Spring from the 1840s to the day of the crash, through the incomprehensible cruelties of not only slavery but the many decades that followed.</b>

FT (Summer books of 2019)

Yvonne Battle-Felton's debut, <i>Remembered</i>, longlisted for the 2019 Women's Prize for Fiction has been compared to Toni Morrison's seminal 1987 novel <i>Beloved</i>. And rightly so, since both are <b>powerful, unapologetic, revealing</b> works of historical fiction
