Critical Praise

"Fearless and lyrically inventive, Raboteau is a writer to watch"

——O: The Oprah Magazine

"Raboteau tackles racism and racial violence in her dark, twisting semi-autobiographical novel, The Professor's Daughter. But what sets this profound debut apart and should ensure its success is not only its thematic cultural relevance but the immediacy and authenticity of its narrative."

——Elle

"Raboteau's lyrical yet clear writing style lends itself well to this story, which is often both terrifying and beautiful… A book with resonating themes and a powerful storyline, The Professor's Daughter is a strong debut from a talented writer."

——Bookpage

"(The Professor's Daughter) is a moving and significant work by a truly gifted and important new writer maong us."
