I loved it.’ —Daily Mail ‘The poet’s novel of art and abuse vividly evokes one woman’s quest to uncover long-lost memories.’ —The Guardian ‘Scintillating.’ —Financial Times When artist Dominique receives a letter from her dying father, a reckoning with repressed memories and a pull for romantic and familial love sends shock waves through her life, as she journeys to Paris to face the places and events of her early years. Balanced with visits to the Venezuelan Amazon, where Dominique explores a spiritual and loving longing (meeting a young guide, Juan), a raw and tender unfolding of this love story is a parallel to the uncovering of the shocking truth of Dominique’s birth, and her parents’ relationship. Pascale Petit’s My Hummingbird Father is a beautifully lyrical debut novel in dialogue with Pascale’s Ondaatje and Laurel Prize-winning poetry collection, Mama Amazonica.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelf-Made.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063449121096,"sku":"9781784633110","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/1260\/5000\/files\/9781784633110_46f830c5-7586-4e07-aa6c-02c84ddacd15.jpg?v=1764082682","url":"https:\/\/shelfmadebooks.com\/products\/9781784633110","provider":"Shelf-Made.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
