About this product

Product Information

What Is She Doing Here? is a memoir of the five years the poet Kate Clanchy spent living closely with Antigona, a Kosovan refugee. Antigona becomes her project, her protegee, her cleaner, her nanny, and slowly, through hours of conversation and negotiations of difference, her friend. Through the story of the women's growing understanding is woven the dramatic tale of Antigona's great escape - from Milosevic, from her forced, violent marriage, and from the most traditional pastoral society in Europe - and the growing toll of her losses, as she and her rebellious teenage daughters negotiate London. Antigona's wit and vertiginous perspectives on contemporary life illuminate and transform the way the writer thinks, bringing many hard truths uncomfortably close to home. 'Kate Clanchy has written not just a heart-stopping story, but one that is essential for our times.' Anne Enright 'This clever, funny, tragic book...terrific...a poets' book, earthily written, and packed with precise imagery. a scholarly book, well-researched and accurate' Independent 'It is amazing how much is here...: racism, sexism, feminism, our uneasy relationship with immigrants, multiculturalism and reaching across cultural chasms, fraught mother-daughter relationships, the difficulties of friendships and the best way to mop a floor'. The Guardian
