Inhaltsangabe

Frank Money returns from the Korean War to a segregated America that refuses him rest.

When he learns that his sister Cee is in danger, Frank is forced to confront both the past he has tried to bury and the responsibility he has long avoided.

As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever. It is with incantatory power that Morrison's language reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and, finally, his home.

'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie, Guardian
