Dive into The Longest Memory…

The Longest Memory tells the story of a rebellious, fiercely intelligent young slave, who in 1810 attempts to flee a Virginia plantation – and of his father who inadvertently betrays him. The young slave’s love for a white girl who slakes his forbidden thirst for learning and his painful relationship with his father is hauntingly evoked in this novel of astonishing lyrical simplicity.
