nikkimaywriter reimagines Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park' in 'This Motherless Land,' giving her latest book what she calls "a decolonial twist." While the Bertrams’ family wealth was based on the slave trade in the original Austen novel, May brings Black and mixed-race people to the page, and brings the added layer of racism to the class commentary of 'Mansfield Park.' 'This Motherless Land' is a journey of self-discovery and navigating identity and at-times-difficult family bonds. Head to your local indie bookstore and get your copy today! 📸 : Mike Cooper
