Description
The Stars and the Blackness Between Them is a powerful debut novel by Junauda Petrus. Told in two distinct voices, this bold and lyrical story follows two black girls from different backgrounds as they navigate love, loss, and identity in a world that often seeks to deny them both.
Audre's life is turned upside down when she discovers she'll be sent to live with her father in America after being caught with her secret girlfriend. Meanwhile, Mabel is struggling to come to terms with her own feelings and health issues, all while trying to care for Audre as they navigate their new lives together.
This beautifully written novel captures the unique voices of its two protagonists as they conjure a love that is stronger than hatred, prison, and death, and as vast as the blackness between the stars. A Coretta Scott King Honor Book, The Stars and the Blackness Between Them is a heart-wrenching and uplifting exploration of identity, community, and the resilience of the human spirit.
