Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Two Black sisters growing up in small-town New England fight to protect their home, their bodies, and their dreams as the Civil Rights Movement sweeps the nation in Promise, a magical, magnificent novel (Marlon James) from a startlingly fresh voice (Jacqueline Woodson).A KIRKUS REVIEWS AND CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEARThe people of Salt Point could indeed be fearful about the world beyond themselves; most of them would be born and die without ever having gone more than twenty or thirty miles from houses that were crammed with generations of their families. . . . But something was shifting at the end of summer 1957.The Kindred sistersEzra and Cinthyhave grown up with an abundance of love. Love from their parents, who let them believe that the stories they tell on stars can come true. Love from their neighbors, the Junketts, the only other Black family in town, whose home is filled with spice-rubbed ribs and ground-shaking hugs. And love for their adopted hometown of Salt Point, a beautiful Maine village perched high up on coastal bluffs.But as the girls hit adolescence, their white neighbors, including Ezras best friend, Ruby, start to see their maturing bodies and minds in a different way. And as the news from distant parts of the country fills with calls for freedom, equality, and justice for Black Americans, the white villagers of Salt Point begin to view the Kindreds and the Junketts as threats to their way of life. Amid escalating violence, prejudice, and fear, bold Ezra and watchful Cinthy must reach deep inside the wells of love theyve built to commit great acts of heroism and grace on the path to survival.In luminous, richly descriptive writing, Promise celebrates one familys story of resistance. Its a book that will break your heartand then rebuild it with courage, hope, and love. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
