Description

Two Black writers stand at very different crossroads: one travels the world on a book tour after receiving a major literary prize, while the other prepares to speak at a school marked by tragedy. As their paths gradually converge, their journeys move from wintry hotel rooms and a tiny French car to family land and grand estates, revealing the complicated ties between art, grief, violence, and belonging. With vivid characters, sharp social insight, and riotous humor alongside profound loss and love, this novel explores how people endure—and find reasons to hope—in a fractured world.
