Synopsis
''A major new talent announces himself'' Attica Locke, New York Times bestselling author of Guide Me Home and Bluebird, Bluebird
''A debut of enormous ambition that succeeds on every level. .. a page-turning, rollicking novel'' Nathan Harris, New York Times bestselling author of The Sweetness of Water
The Devil first visits Yetunde aboard a slave ship heading to America. Her home burned to ash, she lies shackled in the belly of the ship with only her dead sister''s spirit for company. Worse, she has a caught the eye of a white man. To survive the hell that awaits her, the Devil offers his protection and a piece of his supernatural power. In return, Yetunde makes an incredible sacrifice.
Their bargain extends far beyond Yetunde''s mortal lifespan. Over the next 175 years, the Devil visits all her descendants in their darkest hour of need. There''s Lucille, a conjure woman; Asa, the white-passing son of a slave; Louis and Virgil, a twentieth-century Cain and Abel; Cassandra, a girl who speaks to the dead; James, a father struggling to keep his family together; and many others. The Devil offers each of them his own version of salvation, all the while wondering: can he save himself, too?
Steeped in the spiritual traditions and oral history of the Black diaspora, The Devil Three Times is a baptism by fire and water, heralding a new voice in fiction.
