Narrated by a chorus of voices,An Eighth of Augusttells the story of a Midwestern community that celebrates the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation year after year. Celebrants from come near and far to pay tribute to the rich heritage of the former slaves who settled the Illinois town. But along with the festivities come painful memories and long-buried resentments, and while this year’s celebration is no different, it will offer up its own particular brand of freedom to one extended family and the wonderfully eccentric white woman whose life becomes entwined with their own. Wavering between the devastating and the uplifting,An Eighth of Augustis ultimately an enduring and exuberant novel.媒体推荐?An unpretentious book of quiet truths and discoveries. . . .
