Song Yet Sung

''Gripping . . . One often risks turning the pages so fast as to miss some of the richness and subtlety of the writing'' New York Times In the days before the Civil War, an enslaved woman named Liz Spocott breaks free from her captors and escapes into the labyrinthine swamps of Maryland''s eastern shore, setting loose a drama of violence and hope among slave catchers, plantation owners, watermen, runaway slaves and free blacks. Filled with rich, historical details and told in McBride''s signature lyrical style, Song Yet Sung is a story of tragic triumph, violent decisions and unexpected kindness.
