From National Book Award finalist Susan Straight comes a haunting
historical novel about a Louisiana slave girl's perilous journey to
freedom.
Daughter of an African mother and a white father she never knew,
Moinette is a house maid on a plantation south of New Orleans. At
fourteen she is sold, separated from her mother without a chance to
say goodbye. Bright, imaginative and well aware of everything she
risks, Moinette at once begins to prepare for an opportunity to
escape. Inspired by a true story, "A Million Nightingales" portrays
Moinette's experience-and the treacherous world she must
navigate-with uncommon richness, intricacy, and drama.
