The Prophets
by Robert Jones Jr.
Robert Jones, Jr.'s debut novel The Prophets centers on Isaiah and Samuel, two enslaved young men whose love becomes both sanctuary and target on a Deep South plantation. It's historical fiction told in a chorus of voices, lyrical and unflinching, written for readers who come to a novel for its language and its ache as much as its story.
