“
I give this book to everyone as a present at some point. It is a cinematic page turner about a relationship thrown into crisis as well as being poignant story of racism in the American justice system. It’s a whole entire world in a book.

What the Critics are Saying
'It's among Tayari's many gifts that she can touch us soul to soul with her words.'
Oprah Winfrey
'Powerful...The story...is both sweeping and intimate- at once an unsparing exploration of what it means to be black in America and a remarkably lifelike portrait of a marriage.'
