A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION A brilliant, haunting and unforgettable memoir from a stunning new talent about the inexorable pull of home and family, set in a shotgun house in New Orleans East. In 1961, Sarah M. BroomâEuros mother Ivory Mae bought a shotgun house in the then-promising neighborhood of New Orleans East and built her world inside of it. It was the height of the Space Race and the neighborhood was home to a major NASA plantâEuro"the postwar optimism seemed assured. Widowed, Ivory Mae remarried SarahâEuros father Simon Broom; their combined family would eventually number twelve children. But after Simon died, six months after SarahâEuros birth, the Yellow House would become Ivory MaeâEuros thirteenth and most unruly child. A book of great ambition, Sarah M. BroomâEuros The Yellow House tells a hundred years of her family and their relationship to home in a neglected area of one of AmericaâEuros most mythologized cities. This is the story of a motherâEuros struggle against a house's entropy, and that of a prodigal daughter who left home only to reckon with the pull that home exerts, even after the Yellow House was wiped off the map after Hurricane Katrina. The Yellow House expands the map of New Orleans to include the stories of its lesser known natives, guided deftly by one of its native daughters, to demonstrate how enduring drives of clan, pride, and familial love resist and defy erasure. Located in the gap between the âEuro²Big Easy" of tourist guides and the New Orleans in which Broom was raised, The Yellow House is a brilliant memoir of place, class, race, the seeping rot of inequality, and the internalized shame that often follows. It is a transformative, deeply moving story from an unparalleled new voice of startling clarity, authority, and power.
