A Stylist Best Book of 2020 Youre free to decide your future. But how do you escape the ghosts of the past? A stunning debut novel with echoes of Yaa Gyasis Homegoing and Sara Collins The Confessions of Frannie Langton The pale-skinned, black-eyed baby is a bad omen. Thats one thing the people on the old plantation are sure of. The other is that Miss Rue - midwife, healer, crafter of curses - will know what to do. But for once Rue doesnt know. Times have changed since her mother Miss May Belle held the power to influence the life and death of her fellow slaves. Freedom has come. The masters Big House lies in ruins. But this new world brings new dangers, and Rues old magic may be no match for them. When sickness sweeps across her tight-knit community, Rue finds herself the focus of suspicion. What secrets does she keep amidst the charred remains of the Big House? Which spells has she conjured to threaten their children? And why is she so wary of the charismatic preacher man who promises to save them all? Rue understands fear. It has shaped her life and her mothers before her. And now she knows she must face her fears - and her ghosts - to find a new way forward for herself and her people. Conjure Women is a story of the lengths well go to save the ones we love, from a stunning new voice in fiction.ID Продукта
