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.
