Entry updated 31 July 2023. Tagged: Author.

(?   -    ) UK teacher and author whose first novel, the Young Adult How Far We've Come (2023), justly discussed in relation to Octavia E Butler's Kindred (1979), reverses the narrative structure of that foundational tale. A young enslaved girl in 1834 Barbados meets a white lad from the twenty-first century (see Slavery; Time Travel), who brings her up the line to his own era. Here she discovers ecstasies of freedom and horrors of the cost of living in an era like this. [JC]
