Now Lord returns with a second novel that exceeds the promise of her first. Le Guin, Lord does indeed belong in such select company-yet, like them, she boldly blazes her own trail. Compared by critics to such heavyweights as Nalo Hopkinson, China Miéville, and Ursula K. Karen Lord’s debut novel, the multiple-award-winning Redemption in Indigo, announced the appearance of a major new talent-a strong, brilliantly innovative voice fusing Caribbean storytelling traditions and speculative fiction with subversive wit and incisive intellect. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED
