Summary
From the author whose writing Jesmyn Ward calls "a perfect song," comes a powerful, deeply affecting, kaleidoscopic novel of pre-Civil War America, shining a light on the everyday heroics of enslaved people who shaped our nation, for fans of Brit Bennett, Percival Everett and Charles Johnson

“We died that you might remember.”

Traversing auction blocks, cotton fields, hush harbors, and dusty roads walked barefoot in search of stolen sons, The Arrival is a sweeping mosaic of Black survival told in a chorus of ancestral voices who refuse to be silenced. Acclaimed, award-winning novelist Daniel Black celebrates the bravery, ingenuity and triumph of those who came before us, offering a lyrical, timely and ultimately luminous reminder of the enduring spirit of African Americans in this unforgettable and essential novel.
