Fans of historical epics won?t be able to put this book down.??Historical Novel Society?Emotionally satisfying. . . . A remarkable character portrait.??Publishers WeeklyThe author of The Secret Women tells the story of a brave and enduring woman as indomitable as Ernest Gaines? legendary Miss Jane Pittman, in a breathtaking novel that combines the epic romance and adventure of Outlander, the sweeping drama of Roots, and the haunting historical power of Barracoon.Things Past Telling is a remarkable historical epic that charts one unforgettable woman?s journey across an ocean of years as vast as the Atlantic that will forever separate her from her homeland. Born in West Africa in the mid-eighteenth century, Maryam Prescilla Grace?a.k.a ?Momma Grace? will live a long, wondrous life marked by hardship, oppression, opportunity, and love. Though she will be ?gifted? various names, her birth name is known to her alone.
