‘Simultaneously deeply researched and imaginative, critical and curious’, Nadine Monem’s piece captivated the judges with the ‘scope and power’ of its expression and ideas. ‘It’s a beautiful exploration of the past’s resonance into the present,’ said [Wasafiri New Writing Prize] judge Francesca Wade, ‘presenting a counter-history with profound personal, political, and literary implications.’
