About this book

This National Book Award finalist follows Isaiah and Samuel, two enslaved men whose intimacy becomes both sanctuary and threat on a brutal plantation. Jones weaves African spiritual traditions with a searing indictment of American violence. A novel that reimagines the past to speak urgently to our present. ## Related reading If this resonates, you might also reach for [Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl](/products/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl/) or [Detransition, Baby](/products/detransition-baby/).
