Description
WINNER of the NATIONAL BOOK AWARD and A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
A finalist for the Kirkus Prize, Andrew Carnegie Medal, Aspen Words Literary Prize, and a New York Times bestseller, this majestic, stirring novel
Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward is a remarkable, evocative story that delves into the complexities of family, race, and the legacy of crime and imprisonment in the modern American South. The novel follows Jojo, a thirteen-year-old boy, who embarks on a journey with his drug-addicted mother, Leonie, to pick up his father from Parchman Farm, the Mississippi State Penitentiary.
Through the novel, Ward paints a vivid picture of the struggles and dreams that define the lives of her characters. It is a story that resonates with a deeply personal and powerful urgency, offering a glimpse into the hardships and heartaches deeply embedded in their journey.
With its lyrical prose and haunting imagery, Sing, Unburied, Sing is an unforgettable exploration of family and redemption, a testament to the power of love even amidst adversity.
