Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
Overview:
Three acclaimed novels, brought together in a single hardcover collection that celebrates bold storytelling and distinctive voice. Each title — How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House, Unsettled Ground, Transcendent Kingdom — was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2021, confirming their status as contemporary literary benchmarks. The set travels from Barbados to rural England to the American South, inviting readers to inhabit intimate worlds where family ties, memory, trauma, and resilience shape every page. How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House blends suspense with a deeply observed family saga set in Barbados, home to a grandmother’s cautionary tale and a daughter’s later reevaluation of love and loss. Unsettled Ground follows twin siblings as their mother’s death exposes fragile livelihoods and hidden secrets that test faith, loyalty, and hope. Transcendent Kingdom threads science and memory in a Ghanaian-American family, tracing grief, addiction, and the search for belonging across continents.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This collection is more than three books; it’s a study in voice and structure across three landscapes — a sunlit Caribbean island, a rural English cottage, and a contemporary American setting. Each novel stands alone, yet together they braid a common thread: mothers, children, memory, and the costs of keeping a family intact. You get three fully formed, prize-nominated reads with distinctive tones, offered in a durable hardcover format that feels premium in hand and on the shelf. It’s an ideal gift for book clubs, gift givers, and readers who crave immersive, character-driven fiction that lingers long after the final page. A solid, shelf-worthy addition for collectors and fans of literary fiction seeking depth and breadth in one elegant set.
Books Included in This Collection:
How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House
In this Barbados-set drama, generations collide as a grandmother’s cautionary tale illuminates choices about obedience, love, and survival. The narrative moves between Lala’s coming-of-age and the grandmother’s mythic memory, weaving personal danger with social critique. Jones crafts a tightly wound, atmospheric story with moral complexity, delivering a gripping exploration of power, desire, and the cost of defying expectations. A powerful opening to the collection that resonates with menace and tenderness in equal measure.
Unsettled Ground
Set in a rural English cottage, this tale follows twins Jeanie and Julius after their mother Dot dies and the world around them threatens their fragile sanctuary. Fuller’s prose blends lyrical, spare observation with piercing insight into poverty, family secrets, and the price of staying together. As secrets surface, the twins confront questions of identity, belonging, and resilience, making this meditation on memory a quietly devastating tour de force.
Transcendent Kingdom
From Ghana to Alabama, this novel follows Gifty, a young neuroscience student grappling with grief, faith, and the pull of family history while seeking answers about her brother’s opioid addiction. Gyasi’s precise, emotionally restrained voice turns science into a lens for humanity, showing how trauma crosses generations and continents. A thought-provoking, deeply affecting examination of love, loss, and the search for meaning in a divided world.
