Description
Sing, Unburied, Sing is a powerful exploration of family, legacy and the American story. Set against the brutal backdrop of rural Mississippi, this novel delves into the complexities of motherhood, identity and the struggle for hope in the face of adversity.
When Jojo's father is released from prison, his mother Leonie embarks on a journey to confront her past and find a way to be a better mother. Along the way, she meets a ghostly inmate who teaches her son about fathers, sons and the legacy of violence that haunts their community.
Rich in lyrical language, this majestic novel brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first century America, offering a searing portrayal of life in the American South.
