A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • From the best-selling author of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie a searing multi-generational novel—set in the 1980s in racially and politically turbulent Philadelphia and in the tiny town of Bonaparte Alabama—about a mother fighting for her sanity and survivalA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times The Washington Post The New Yorker Oprah Daily Kirkus Reviews [A] powerful book. —Marilynne Robinson Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Gilead • Emotionally propulsive – Oprah Daily • Showcases Ayana Mathis's grace on the page as writer as storyteller. A book to be read and re-read. – Jesmyn Ward author of Let Us DescendTwo bold utopic communities are at the heart of Ayana Mathis’s searing follow-up to her bestselling debut The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. Bonaparte Alabama – once 10 000 glorious Black-owned acres – is now a ghost town vanishing to depopulation crooked developers and an eerie mist closing in on its shoreline. Dutchess Carson Bonaparte's fiery tough-talking protector fights to keep its remaining one thousand acres in the hands of the last five residents. Meanwhile in Philadelphia her estranged daughter Ava is drawn into Ark – a seductive radical group with a commitment to Black self-determination in the spirit of the Black Panthers and MOVE with a dash of the Weather Underground’s violent zeal. Ava’s eleven-year-old son Toussaint wants out – his future awaits him on his grandmother’s land where the sounds of cicada and frog song might save him if only he can make it there. In Mathis’s electrifying novel Bonaparte is both mythic landscape and spiritual inheritance and 1980s Philadelphia is its raw darkly glittering counterpoint. The Unsettled is a spellbinding portrait of two fierce women reckoning with the steep cost of resistance: What legacy will we leave our children? Where can we be free?
