Kin – Lady Jones
The author of American Marriage is back with a new novel that explores the complexities of family, motherhood, and female friendship between two black women in the American South. Vernis and Annie have been best friends since childhood, drawn to each other by their lack of mothers and their closeness. But their lives take radically different paths when Vernice goes to college, joins a community of privileged black women, and marries into a wealthy family. At the same time, Annie embarks on a difficult journey to fill the void left by her mother. This is also the newest selection for Oprah’s book club.
