À propos de cet audio

From the internationally bestselling author of Washington Black, winner of the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize and finalist for the Man Booker Prize, this debut novel, haunting and atmospheric, portrays the heartbreak, hardship and moments of surprising grace in the life of a man struggling to realize his destiny.

Once a young Ghanaian emigrant of outstanding promise, Samuel Tyne is languishing as a low-level civil servant in Calgary. When he unexpectedly inherits a mansion in what was formerly an all-black town, he seems to have been offered that fabled second chance, even if his wife and twin daughters are profoundly—and strangely—set against it. But as his desire for success intensifies, Samuel Tyne finds his life disintegrating around him.

I did not find this book very exciting. The narrator tried to use different voices for characters which I found very annoying. I enjoyed this authors other book much more

not very exciting

This was a great read set in historic rural Alberta. As a non-native Albertan, I loved the local historic references. The characters were incredibly complex and the plot continued to evolve in surprising ways. Some very dark moments, lots of loss, tragedy and hope circle each other throughout. Some of the African accents were excellent! Felt that the passing of decades in the last few chapters was an interesting twist.

Great Read, Interesting End
