Set against a vividly drawn background of the civil rights movement of the sixties, Baldwin's last novel is a monumental saga that ranges from New York to Paris, Korea to Africa to portray how profoundly racial politics can shape life, especially in the private business of love. 'Warm, melancholy . . . Hall Montana's voice is the conduit for Baldwin's most distinctive quality as a writer, his abundant tenderness' The New York TimesCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 1994 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
