ABOUT
THE BOOK

“In those days in the early Sixties we were not women yet but girls. This was, without irony, perceived as our advantage.” So begins I’ll Take You There, an intimate and unsparing self-portrait of a nameless young student who, though gifted with a penetrating intelligence, is drastically inclined to obsession.
Funny, mordant and compulsive, “Anellia” (as she sometime calls herself) falls passionately in love with a brilliant yet elusive black philosophy student. But she is tested most severely by a figure out of her past she’d long believed dead.
