Historical
Based on historically accurate roots, this novel explores
one New Yorker’s involvement in his family’s rice
plantation and the wild tensions involved as he tries to
right the wrong he sees at work in his family. Tracing the thread of slavery from 1500s Timbuktu up to
the Civil War, Songs of Slaves in the Desert
explores one
man’s struggle with the legacy of slavery and the loyalty
of family, brought into sharp focus as he finds himself
attracted to one young slave woman. A masterful writer,
Cheuse grapples with the nether parts of our history and
the wild nature of love, especially by those held closest
in chains.
