The new owners are moving into the mini-mansion across the street today. What those rich people don’t always know is that broken and forgotten neighborhoods were first built out of love. People can be thrown away too, like last night’s trash left out on sidewalks or pushed to the edge of wherever all broken things go. But it’s not just the junky stuff they’ll get rid of.
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that when rich people move into the hood, where it’s a little bit broken and a little bit forgotten, the first thing they want to do is clean it up. And shout-out to the first line because it really just SETS THE TONE. Scroll on down to read the first four chapters of PRIDE.
You think you know the story (and you do) but it’s never been remixed like this. Get ready for the remix of a lifetime because we’ve got a sneak peek into PRIDE, one of our most anticipated September releases! Ibi Zoboi’s latest novel is a modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice…with a badass main Afro-Latino main character AND it’s set against the backdrop of a gentrifying Brooklyn. Can we just say we are so here for this diverse and multi-cultural take on the classic love story?! That combined with the fact that it takes place in Bushwick, a Brooklyn neighborhood that’s just full of history and character… 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
