THE PROPHETS: Robert Jones Jr

THE PROPHETS

by Robert Jones Jr

Isn't it wonderful when a highly anticipated book turns out to be just as good as everyone tells you. Drawing comparisons to Toni Morrison and James Baldwin, such exalted praise is not misplaced. This lyrical story about the relationship between two young men enslaved on a Deep South Plantation is epic in scope and intimate in detail. Unforgettable.
