Seeking distraction, and a way to erase a mounting pile of debt, Aubrey makes her way South to meet a family she barely knows.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Watching her arrival with great interest, and wry scrutiny, are four ghosts: Aubrey's ancestors, the keepers (and spillers) of the farm's secrets. As Aubrey gets to know her living family, another story unfolds in parallel: the history of the land, beginning with its purchase by her great-grandfather, one of the first Black landowners in the community, the four children set to inherit it, their bitter rivalries, and the tragedy that echoes through the decades...\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Now, as the clock ticks on a potential sale of the farm, the ghosts fear expulsion from the home they've made, and Aubrey must weigh the hopes and burdens of her forebears with the very real needs of her future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dazzling and expansive, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Wherever\u003c\/i\u003e is a multigenerational portrait of the American South, exploring land and legacies, race and generational wealth, and the sharp fragments of the past - how they spark and shine against the surface of our ordinary lives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ***\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eTHE GREAT WHEREVER\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'An epic and deeply human story' \u003cb\u003ePATRICK RYAN, author of the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eBuckyeye\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A gift of a book' \u003cb\u003eVANESSA\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCHAN, author of the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Storm We Made\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Gripping, moving, witty, and wise, this is historical fiction at its finest' \u003cb\u003eMARGARET WILKERSON SEXTON, author of \u003ci\u003eOn the Rooftop\u003c\/i\u003e, a Reese's Book Club Pick\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e '\u003c\/b\u003eI felt dazzled and . . . in awe of all its beauty and magic' \u003cb\u003eDAWNIE WALTON, Women's Prize-longlisted author of \u003ci\u003eThe Final Revival of Opal \u0026amp; Nev\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR SHANNON SANDERS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A deftly woven tapestry that scruptuously depicts familial ties and estraangement' \u003cb\u003eJONATHAN ESCOFFERY, Booker Prize shortlisted author of \u003ci\u003eIf I Survive You\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Brilliant . . . this delighted me' \u003cb\u003eANN NAPOLITANO, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eHello Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Reading Shannon Sanders makes me want to visit home' \u003cb\u003eTONY TULATHIMUTTE, author of \u003ci\u003eRejection\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Sanders extracts comedy from the formidable situations that erupt in people's lives' \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWASHINGTON POST\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Great Wherever","offer_id":46090102243525,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-241-79113-4.jpg?v=1776298286","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/great-wherever","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
