An immersive, sweeping and unforgettable novel of one man's life in the aftermath of the American Civil War.
I knew as I made my way home that there was no home. All the old things... were gone forever.
Against a rapidly shifting landscape in the wake of the American Civil War, Tennyson Bouguereau – freed man, devoted brother, nascent singer, conflicted soldier and wanted man – journeys to find meaning and belonging. From the relative safety of home in Tennessee with his sister Rosalee, he is offered the possibility of a whole new life in Nashville, until a surprising trip to Victorian England changes everything.
Exquisitely rendered, and with a rich cast of characters, The Newer World is a lyrical, visceral novel about what it is to survive, and what might be lost along the way.
