Description

A sweeping family saga that spans generations, exploring the complexities of Black womanhood and the stories that shape us. Ailey Pearl Garfield's journey takes her through the struggles and triumphs of her family's past, uncovering the secrets and whispers that have shaped her identity. As she delves into the history of her ancestors, she must come to terms with her own heritage, a legacy of oppression and resistance, bondage and independence, cruelty and resilience that is the story of America itself. Through Ailey's story, we are immersed in a celebration of Black womanhood, where the past and present collide. With a mesmerising and magnificent narrative, this book is a gripping and gorgeous exploration of family, identity, and the power of storytelling. Longlisted for the National Book Award for Fiction and shortlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in family sagas, historical fiction, and the complexities of the American experience.
