A startling, hard-edged dissection of slavery and a tour de force of both voice and storytelling 'A story of such depth and humanity that youll want to spend hours picking apart the nuances even as you recover emotionally from this wrenching read.' Vogue 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, Liliths powers and sense of purpose threaten not just her own destiny, but the destinies of all the slave women in Jamaica.
