Jessamy Harrison is eight years old. Sensitive, whimsical, possessed of a powerful imagination, she spends hours writing, reading or simply hiding in the dark warmth of the airing cupboard. As the half-and-half child of an English father and a Nigerian mother, Jess just can't shake off the feeling of being alone wherever she goes, and other kids are wary of her terrified fits of screaming. When she is taken to her mother's family compound in Nigeria, she encounters Titiola, a ragged little girl her own age. It seems that at last Jess has found someone who will understand her. TillyTilly knows secrets both big and small. But as she shows Jess just how easy it is to hurt those around her, Jess begins to realise that she doesn't know who TillyTilly is at all.

Jojo n’a que treize ans mais c’est déjà l’homme de la maison. Son grand-père lui a tout appris : nourrir les animaux de la ferme, s’occuper de sa grand-mère malade, écouter les histoires, veiller sur sa petite sœur Kayla. De son autre famille, Jojo ne sait pas grand-chose. Ces blancs n’ont jamais accepté que leur fils fasse des enfants à une noire. Quant à son père, Michael, Jojo le connaît peu, d’autant qu’il purge une peine au pénitencier d’État. Et puis il y a Leonie, sa mère. Qui n’avait que dix-sept ans quand elle est tombée enceinte de lui. Qui aimerait être une meilleure mère mais qui cherche l’apaisement dans le crack, peut-être pour retrouver son frère, tué alors qu’il n’était qu’adolescent. Leonie qui vient d’apprendre que Michael va sortir de prison et qui décide d’embarquer les enfants en voiture pour un voyage plein de dangers, de fantômes mais aussi de promesses… Seule femme à avoir reçu deux fois le National Book Award, Jesmyn Ward nous livre un roman puissant, hanté, d’une déchirante beauté, un road trip à travers un Sud dévasté, un chant à trois voix pour raconter l’Amérique noire, en butte au racisme le plus primaire, aux injustices, à la misère, mais aussi l’amour inconditionnel, la tendresse et la force puisée dans les racines.
