At the Full and Change of the Moon - by Dionne Brand (Paperback)

The Sans Peur Regiment is a sweeping epic of the African diaspora, spanning over 100 years and detailing a family's tragic history through vividly rendered voices.

This powerful novel begins in 1824 Trinidad with Marie-Ursule, queen of a secret slave society, plotting a mass suicide.

Despite this act of revolt, Marie-Ursule cannot kill her young daughter, Bola, who escapes to live free and bear a dynasty of descendants across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe.

Haunted by a legacy of passion and oppression, the children of Bola pass through two world wars and into the confusion, estrangement, and violence of the late twentieth century.

With a lush and exuberant style reminiscent of Toni Morrison or Edwidge Danticat, Brand's second novel is an essential work of our times.

Don't miss out on this powerful and moving epic that will leave you haunted by its beauty and tragedy.
