Krátký popis
My Battle of Hastings is an exploration of how an immigrant, an
outsider and a woman can embrace local and national history. In
winter 2021, Xiaolu Guo moved into a tiny dilapidated flat on the
Hastings seafront, a room of her own where she could spend time
writing away from her domestic duties as a mother and wife in
London. As Russia invaded Ukraine, she immersed herself in the
English landscape and its past, especially the violence between
Normans and Saxons.My Battle of Hastings is a chronicle of Xiaolu’s
life in Hastings and a portrait of a dislocated artist seeking to
connect with her local environment in the hope of finding a deeper
connection to her adoptive nation. Filled with profound, beautiful
and wry reflections on war, history, migration and belonging,
Xiaolu’s journey into the past completes the triptych of memoirs
that began with Once Upon a Time in the East, charting her
childhood in China, then continued with Radical: A Life of My Own
in search of a freedom beyond her home.
