Longlisted for the HWA Goldsboro Debut Crown Award Longlist 2016.

In 1935 one of the most ferocious hurricanes ever hit the Florida coast. This dramatic tale features that hurricane but in essence it is a tale of race, prejudice, small-town fears and hardship. The First World War is over in Europe. The black man fought beside the white but back home in America that black man is very much the second class citizen. When a white woman is battered almost to death suspicion naturally falls upon a black man. This is a dark, passionate tale peopled with strong believable characters who imprint themselves upon you. It is a love story, a murder mystery, a tale of human drama and a very fine piece of social history. An excellent read.

If you like Vanessa LaFaye you might also like to read books by Kathryn StockettPeter Dexter and Ellen Feldman.
