About this book
In late-eighteenth-century Jamaica, Lilith is born on a sugar plantation and grows up amid brutality, surveillance, and the competing bonds of enslaved people trying to endure. As rumours of resistance gather force, she is drawn toward a clandestine group of women planning a rebellion, while her own choices become increasingly perilous. Marlon James writes with fierce energy, dark wit, and a rich Caribbean vernacular, creating a large social world rather than a single straightforward hero’s journey. This is an intense, gripping historical novel about power, survival, and revolt.
