Description
Jesmyn Ward delivers a searing Southern odyssey, weaving a tale of family, ghosts, and the enduring weight of history. When Leonie's partner is released from prison, she embarks on a perilous road trip with her children to Parchman farm, a journey that forces them to confront the specters of the past and the harsh realities of the present. This novel masterfully explores themes of race, poverty, and the complex bonds of kinship, set against the backdrop of rural Mississippi. Ward's powerful, lyrical prose brings to life a story that is both an intimate family portrait and an epic exploration of hope and resilience in the face of profound struggle.
