  The incredible debut novel from 2015 Man Booker Prize winner Marlon James

  Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize

  --New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice

There is even an echo of Faulkner in the meticulous, multi-vocal rendering of conflicts entrenched in village life. But more important than any comparison is that James' debut is very much its own book, and stands as tall on its own as it would with any other volume beside it.
  --Small Spiral Notebook

  This stunning debut novel tells the story of a biblical struggle in a remote Jamaican village in 1957. With language as taut as classic works by Cormac McCarthy, and a richness reminiscent of early Toni Morrison, Marlon James reveals his unique narrative command that will fir
