«Hva, hva, skal jeg gjøre med alt dette livet?» Maud Martha vokser opp i mellomkrigstidens Chicago. Blant forfalne vertshus og overgrodde hager drømmer hun: om New York, kjærlighet, fremtiden. Hun beundrer løvetann, lærer seg å drikke kaffe, forelsker seg, innreder sin første lille leilighet, går på dineren, hører foredrag på campus, renser en kylling, kjøper hatter, føder et barn. Hun ser at den lysere ektemannen også har drømmer: om herreklubben Foxy Cats, andre kvinner, krigen. Og glimtene av hat - en viss kommentar fra en ekspeditrise, det der kinobesøket,avvisningenfra varemagasinets julenisse - er bestandig til stede. Maud Martha er en poetisk, sjarmerende og varm collage av øyeblikk fra et liv: et liv i beskjedne kår, men fylt av klokskap, humor, protest, sinne, verdighet og glede.

Samtidig er glimtene av hat - en viss kommentar fra en ekspeditrise, det der kinobesøket, avvisningen fra varemagasinets julenisse - bestandig til stede. Maud Martha er en poetisk, sjarmerende og varm collage av øyeblikk fra et stille liv: et liv som svart kvinne i beskjedne kår, men et liv fylt av klokskap, humor, protest, sinne, verdighet og glede. «stillferdig og slagferdig prosa ... Boka er både en bitende kritikk og en ode til hverdagen slik den er, verken uproblematisk eller spennende, men som like fullt - for hver og én - er et epos om klasse, ambisjoner, raseri, egenverd og anstendighet» SILJE BEKENG-FLEMMEN, KLASSEKAMPEN
Maud Martha er den amerikanske forfatter, underviser og borgerrettighedsaktivist Gwendolyn Brooks' (1917-2000) autofiktive fortælling om Maud Marthas liv og skæbne, fra hun er 6 år, og indtil hun har født sit første barn og er gravid med sit næste. Det er historien om at komme fra beskedne kår, hvor forældrene må kæmpe for at beholde deres hjem, og om at vokse op i en familie, hvor søsteren er meget smukkere end hende selv. Begge erfaringer, den af fattigdom og den af ikke at være smuk nok, hjemsøger Maud Martha op igennem livet og i hendes parforhold med Paul. Den Paul, som hun venter sit barn med, men som hun er overbevist om hellere ville giftes med en, der var lidt lysere brun. Det er historien om hele tiden at opretholde håbet og optimismen, selvom den hårde realitet er, at de to aldrig vil komme videre fra deres lille lejlighed fyldt med kakerlakker i en by, hvor de dagligt konfronteres med deres hudfarve og deres livsvilkår. Hvor det at være sort betyder at være låst fast i fattigdom og et liv, der i bedste fald får lov at gå ubemærket hen. Maud Martha er en smuk og barsk fortælling fortalt i 34 vignetter, der i al sin lyriske enkelthed indkapsler Maud Marthas barndomsminder, familieliv, ægteskab og erfaringer af at leve som sort kvinde i 1950’ernes Chicago. Maud Martha udgives i Gyldendals Skala-serie for genopdagede mesterværker fra det 20. århundrede. Denne bog er oversat af Birgitte Steffen Nielsen
När Gwendolyn Brooks 1950 tilldelades Pulitzerpriset för sin andra diktsamling var hon den första afrikan-amerikanen som mottog det. Tre år senare utkom "Maud Martha", hennes enda roman. Nu kommer den för första gången på svenska.Maud Martha Brown är en liten flicka som växer upp på sydsidan i tjugotalets Chicago. Bland ruffiga krogar och förvildade bakgårdar drömmer hon: om New York, romantik, sin framtid. Hon beundrar maskrosor, lär sig dricka kaffe, förälskar sig, inreder sin kokvrålägenhet, hör föredrag på universitetsområdet, tar ur en kyckling, köper hattar, föder ett barn. Men hennes mer ljushyade make när också drömmar: om Foxy Cats Club, andra kvinnor.Och "skärvorna av förstummat hat" - när en säljare säger ett visst ord, det där biobesöket, grymheten hos en varuhustomte - är hela tiden närvarande."Maud Martha" är ett djärvt poetiskt kollage och ett enastående porträtt av ett vanligt liv: ett liv levt i vishet, humor, protest, vrede, värdighet och glädje.

"Maud Florence Nellie: Or, Don't Care " by Christabel R. Coleridge is a compelling tale of defiance and self-discovery set against the rigid norms of Victorian society. This captivating novel falls into the genre of Victorian bildungsroman, blending elements of social commentary and feminist literature in a poignant narrative. The protagonist, Maud Florence Nellie, defies societal expectations with her rebellious spirit and determination to forge her own path. Set in the bustling streets of 19th-century London, the novel explores Maud's journey as she navigates through adversity, societal pressure, and personal conflicts. As Maud confronts the constraints imposed upon her gender and class, she discovers the power of resilience and independence. Through her trials and triumphs, she challenges the status quo, refusing to conform to the expectations of a patriarchal society. Christabel R.

Moving somewhere new can come with bumps on the road - until you find a friend who makes you feel right at home. "We are really leaving," said Maud. "Yes we are," said Dad, and that made it true.

This is a thoughtful, funny and hugely enjoyable read for all children about changing schools, new beginnings, community, empathy ... and a horse that eats sausages. Fully illustrated in black line art, this gently humorous read with a sprinkle of magic and featuring a neurodivergent main character is perfect for all children aged 7-11.

Mary Henley Rubio has spent over two decades researching Montgomery's life, and has put together a comprehensive and penetrating picture of this Canadian literary icon, all set in rich social context.

From Montgomery's apparently idyllic childhood in Prince Edward Island to her passion-filled adolescence and young adulthood, to her legal fights as world-famous author, to her shattering experiences with motherhood and as wife to a deeply troubled man, this fascinating, intimate narrative of her life will engage and delight.

When she has to get a shot, she shuts her eyes and pretends she’s a fish! In Much Too Much Birthday, Maud is having a birthday party with all her friends. But when the guests arrive and the party gets packed, she isn’t so sure it was such a good idea after all. What will happen if Maud can’t bear her own birthday?
