Description
It's past midnight, and thick fog rolls in from the river like smoke. A chance encounter between two strangers sets off a chain of events that challenge the rigid social codes of their time.
In this powerful novel, Ann Petry explores the complexities of racial tension and social class through the story of Link Williams, a brilliant but struggling young man, and Camilo, a wealthy heiress who has crossed the town's racial divide to relieve the tedium of her privileged life. As they draw each other into furtive encounters, their lives become intertwined in unexpected ways.
