Song Yet Sung Summary

Song Yet Sung by James Mcbride

In the tense days before the American Civil War, in the swamplands of the Maryland shore, a wounded slave girl and her visions of the future tear a community apart in a riveting drama of hope and redemption. Kidnappings, gunfights and chases ensue in this extraordinary story of violence, tragic triumph, and unexpected kindness. 'Gripping, affecting, and beautifully paced' - OPRAH MAGAZINE 'Escaped slaves, free blacks, slave-catchers, and plantation owners weave a tangled web of intrigue and adventure' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Song Yet Sung Reviews

'McBride's intricately constructed and impressive second novel ... he nails the horrors of slavery as well as he does the power of hope and redemption' -- Publisher's Weekly starred review 'In Denwood's grim, fatalistic pursuit of his destiny, McBride has fashioned a myth of retribution and sacrifice that recalls both William Faulkner's sagas of blighted generations and Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. Explosively dramatic.' -- Kirkus starred review 'Gripping ... One often risks turning the pages so fast as to miss some of the richness and subtlety of the writing.' -- New York Times 'By turns tender and savage, McBride's novel is a harsh commentary on the inequalities in society both past and present' -- Image magazine
