AMITY
The sophomore novel from the bestselling author of the Booker Prize longlisted, Ernest J. Gaines Award winning, Oprah's Book Club selection THE SWEETNESS OF WATER.
A sweeping saga following siblings Coleman and June three years after they have been freed from slavery. It opens in 1868, as the siblings' former owner has fled Louisiana for Mexico, with June in tow, "on a quixotic mission to form a colony with other Confederate rebels intent on re-creating the antebellum lifestyle to which they were accustomed."
AMITY Is based loosely on historical records, and the fact that some Confederate supporters fled to Mexico after the Civil War.
