The Restless - Softcover

"Dambury's essential take on the event offers a fresh and personal perspective, incorporating multiple perspectives and a child protagonist without sacrificing nuance, and gives the stage to those too long overlooked in this tragedy." --Publishers Weekly

"A chorus of voices brings humanity to a little-known moment in Caribbean history." --Kirkus Reviews

"Dambury's important novel seeks to empower Guadeloupe's oppressed by giving them voices and space to speak for themselves." --Booklist

"By giving voice to the underrepresented in her society, [Dambury] does her part to bring about a sort of justice--or at least catharsis." --Asymptote

"A brilliant example of subtlety and sensitivity that brings to life one of the most important dates in Guadeloupe's history." --Maryse Condé, author of Segu

"In this restaging of history, constructed as a quadrille, epic rifts of power have tragic consequences, yet Gerty Dambury also celebrates the strengths and joys of a community when its voices speak--and dance--together." --Thomas C. Spear, Professor of French, CUNY
