"So compelling it gave me goosebumps from the very first pages."
--ISABEL ALLENDE
Spanning four generations of a mixed-race family, Mostly White is a powerful tale of inter-generational trauma and the healing brought by wildness, music, and the resilience of women. From Emma, who survives the abuse of an Indian residential school in 1890s Maine, to Ella, who navigates color lines in 1980s New York City, Alison Hart's unforgettable characters fight to form their own identities and honor the call of their ancestors.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
