Summary
Summary
Cain is a scarred but proud man haunted by a terrible skill—the ability to track people who don't want to be found.Rosetta is a runaway slave fueled by the passion and determination only a mother can feel. And she will risk everything for the promise of freedom.
In the perilous years before the Civil War, their fates will intertwine in an unforgettable journey—one of hardship and redemption that will take them from Virginia to Boston and back—an odyssey that will change them forever.
Michael C. White has written beautiful novels before, including the acclaimed A Dream of Wolves, yet none has prepared us for the sheer scope and drama of this new tale—a dazzling tapestry of imagination and character, atmosphere, and emotion. Poignant and utterly compelling, it is a story to be savored and remembered.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Richly detailed and beautifully written…It’s an important book.” —Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls
“The book succeeds in presenting a fractious era and a host of moral quagmires. Cain—a flawed and coarse antihero—becomes emblematic of a historical moment under White’s sure hand.” —Publishers Weekly
“Like Huck Finn, seventeen-year-old Augustus Cain lights out for the territory, leaving his father’s farm for the adventure of the Mexican-American War…Historical novelist White’s heartbreaking story is slow to build but devastating in its final impact.” —Booklist
Richly detailed and beautifully written…. It's an important book. —Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls
