“A hymn to the complicated nature of home and the somehow serendipitous yet inevitable ways we find it. A
truly sensuous read and a book for our times.”
Caryl Lewis
“A story from the past with clear relevance in our current climate, Buchaillard holds up a mirror and asks us to
reflect on the consequences of our own choices.”
Connor Allen
“Assimilation is a perceptive and compelling novel that invites the reader to seek out new ways of negotiating
the labyrinth of personal and cultural identity. Sophie Buchaillard weaves her tale with skill and acumen,
offering rare insights into migration, foreignness, family, and much else besides.”
Richard Gwyn
Assimilation
Assimilation is a story of unravelling family secrets, belonging, betrayal and inherited family trauma that will transport readers back through moments in time carefully steered by Buchaillard’s exceptional and compellin prose.
Told from the perspective of three generations of women, Assimilation takes us on a world tour through history exploring identity whilst pursuing spies, drug dealers and even a talking bear.
Assimilation is the perfect read for fans of historical fiction, travel writing and adventure stories. This is a novel that will tantalise readers long after the last page is read.
