Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\u201cBoth beautifully written and devastating\u2026Writing in the spirit of Toni Morrison and Alice Walker but in a style all his own, James has conducted an experiment in how to write the unspeakable\u2014 even the unthinkable. And the results of that experiment are an undeniable success.\u201d
\n\u2014\u00a0<\/span>The New York Times Book Review<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe narrative voice is so assured and the descriptions so detailed and believable that one can\u2019t help being engaged. This is a book to love. . . .\u00a0The<\/span>\u00a0Book of Night Women\u00a0<\/span>is hard to pick up, even harder to put down . . . and it deserves to be read.\u201d
\n\u2014\u00a0<\/span>Chicago Tribune<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Book of Night Women\u00a0<\/span>is a searing read, full of blood, tears, and the stench of misery. It\u2019s barbaric and ancient, but also familiar in the ways that people, consumed by their differences and divisions, easily overlook all that binds them\u2014 the desire for independence, the right to a civilized life, and the need to give and receive love.\u201d
\n\u2014\u00a0<\/span>The Boston Globe<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Book of Night Women\u00a0<\/span>is not merely a historical novel. It is a book as heavily peopled and dark as the night in this isolated and brutal place. It is a canticle of love and hate.\u201d

A true triumph of voice and storytelling,\u00a0The Book of Night Women<\/span>\u00a0rings with both profound authenticity and a distinctly contemporary energy. It is the story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they- and she-will come to both revere and fear. The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age they see her as the key to their plans. But when she begins to understand her own feelings, desires, and identity, Lilith starts to push at the edges of what is imaginable for the life of a slave woman, and risks becoming the conspiracy’s weak link. But the real revelation of the book-the secret to the stirring imagery and insistent prose-is Marlon James himself, a young writer at once breath\u00adtakingly daring and wholly in command of his craft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":53989,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[25],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Book of Night Women -
