In the small town of Bellwether, where prejudice and judgment prevail, five harrowing life paths collide and a saga of survival, defiance, and unyielding human spirit unfolds. —Winner of the Hawthorne Prize, 2024
Broughman has created an American epic, a grand story that stretches across land and water, time and race, gender and religion. As characters go off to war, flee to cities, and escape the terrors of slavery, we encounter the awesome forces of mercy, hope, even forgiveness. Broughman’s prose sweeps from achingly tender to brutal and bare-knuckled, his prowess managing multiple voices and tensions. Brazenly beautiful writing. —John Mauk, author of Where All Things Flatten
