Crossing by Phillips (318 results)

Paperback. Condition: Fair.

Paperback. Condition: Good. From the acclaimed author of Cambridge comes an ambitious, formally inventive, and intensely moving evocation of the scattered offspring of Africa. It begins in a year of failing crops and desperate foolishness, which forces a father to sell his three children into slavery.

Together these voices make up a many-tongued chorus of common memory--and one of the most stunning works of fiction ever to address the lives of black people severed from their homeland.…
