'Achingly beautiful' Guardian
Harlem in the 1970s: the black soul of New York City. Tish is nineteen and the man she loves - her lifelong friend and the father of her unborn child - has been jailed for a crime he did not commit. As their families come together to fight for his freedom, will their love be enough?
'Soulful . . . Racial injustice may flatten "the black experience" into one single, fearful, constantly undermined way of life - but black life, black love, is so much larger than that . . . It's one of the signature lessons of Baldwin's work that blackness contains multitudes' Vanity Fair
'If Beale Street Could Talk affirms not only love between a man and a woman, but love of a type that is dealt with only rarely in contemporary fiction - that between members of a family' Joyce Carol Oates
A searing look at the urban subculture of New Zealand's native people
—— Toronto Globe and MailA starkly realistic account...as important, as frank, as powerful a book as [Alice Walker's The Color Purple] was for Americans
—— Dominion (New Zealand)Impressive by any standard
—— The Globe and MailA very good and varied collection, with delightful oddities
—— The TimesUnfailingly honest
—— Sunday TimesAndric possess the rare gift in a historical novelist of creating a period-piece, full of local colour, and at the same time characters who might have been living today
—— Times Literary SupplementJust as the bridge on the Drina brought East and West together so your work has acted as a link, combining the culture of your country with other parts of the planet
—— Göran Liljestrand, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences member
