The Yellow House
A Memoir (2019 National Book Award Winner)
Sarah M. Broom
This haunting memoir explores the pull of home and family, focusing on an ambitious mother who buys a shotgun house in New Orleans East during the height of the Space Race. After the death of her second husband, the Yellow House becomes her thirteenth and most unruly child. This memoir tells a hundred years of family relationships against the history of New Orleans, guiding readers through the city's lesser-known natives and the enduring drives of clan, pride, and familial love that defy erasure. It is a transformative, deeply moving story from an unparalleled new voice of startling clarity, authority, and power.
