About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of the Saga Prize 1997: a literary award for trailblazing new Black British novelists.
A shattering portrayal of family, guilt and unshakeable bonds as a family's deepest secrets explosively unravel.
When Anita finally returns home to London after a long absence, everything has changed. Her father is dead, her mother is away and she and her sister, Beth, are alone together for the first time in years.
They share a house. They share a family. They share a past.
Tentatively, they reach out to one another for connection, but the house echoes with words unspoken.
Dazzling and heart-breaking, Bernard and the Cloth Monkey is a searing portrait of family, a rebellion against silence and a testament to the human capacity for survival.

"A quietly outstanding work of fiction...an exemplary novel." (Bernardine Evaristo)
