Eunice - Lisette Lombe

A fierce, tender novel about grief, memory, and the powerful bond between mothers and daughters. Nineteen-year-old Eunice’s life is suddenly interrupted when she learns that her mother, Jane, is dead, found drowned in a river after leaving a nightclub. The police rule it an accident, but Eunice isn’t so sure. A red notebook, discovered in a hair salon, suggests there’s more to her mother’s story—cryptic initials, clues, fragments of a life Eunice never fully knew. As she begins to unravel the mystery, she’s forced to confront long-buried family secrets and the painful gaps in her own understanding of who her mother was. Eunice is a novel about the fierce bond of sisterhood, complex legacies passed down through generations, and the transformative power of forgiveness. It poignantly touches on the power of awakening to tenderness and the hard-won grace of letting go, written in rhythmic, lyrical prose that bears the mark of author Lisette Lombé’s background in slam poetry.
