Soul Tourists book by Bernardine Evaristo

Soul Tourists by Bernardine Evaristo is a genre-blending literary novel that mixes road trip, history, ghost story, and social commentary.

The story follows Stanley Williams, a middle-aged British man who embarks on a journey across Europe after a series of unsettling events in his life. Along the way, he meets Jessie, a mysterious companion, and together they encounter a series of spirits—historical “soul tourists” who reveal forgotten or hidden stories of people who died in obscurity or injustice.

As Stanley travels deeper into these encounters, the novel explores identity, migration, memory, and the overlooked histories of Black Europeans and others erased from mainstream narratives. The structure is playful and fragmented, blending realism with the supernatural to reveal how history and identity are constantly being rewritten. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
