Description
In this powerful and haunting novel, Jesmyn Ward reimagines the brutal realities of American slavery through the eyes of Annis, a young woman sold south from her home. Separated from her family and forced into a harrowing journey, Annis must navigate a landscape of profound cruelty and unimaginable loss. As she confronts the dehumanizing forces that seek to break her spirit, she discovers an inner resilience and a desperate hope for freedom. Ward's lyrical prose and unflinching gaze illuminate the enduring strength of the human spirit against the backdrop of America's darkest chapter.
