A startling, hard-edged dissection of slavery and a tour de force
of both voice and storytelling By the Man Booker-winning author
Marlon James, this is the powerful story of Lilith, born into
slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth
century. Even at her birth, the Night Women - a clandestine council
of fierce slaves plotting an island-wide revolt - recognize a dark
force in her that they treat with both reverence and fear. But as
Lilith comes of age and begins to understand her own feelings and
identity, she dares to push at the edges of what is imaginable for
the life of a slave woman. And as rebellions simmer and unspoken
jealousies intensify, Lilith's powers and sense of purpose threaten
not just her own destiny, but the destinies of all the slave women
in Jamaica.
