"Emotionally propulsive ... Through a chorus of distinctive and virtuosic voices, we gather the story of a mother, a daughter, and the land that both unites and divides them. Oprah Daily "Showcases Ayana Mathis's grace on the page, as writer, as storyteller. A book to be read and re-read." Jesmyn Ward, author of Let Us Descend
Two bold, utopic communities are at the heart of Ayana Mathis s searing follow-up to her bestselling debut, The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. Bonaparte, Alabama once 10,000 glorious Black-owned acres is now a ghost town vanishing to depopulation, crooked developers, and an eerie mist closing in on its shoreline. Dutchess Carson, Bonaparte's fiery, tough-talking protector, fights to keep its remaining one thousand acres in the hands of the last five residents. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, her estranged daughter Ava is drawn into Ark a seductive, radical group with a commitment to Black self-determination in the spirit of the Black Panthers and MOVE, with a dash of the Weather Underground s violent zeal. Ava s eleven-year-old son Toussaint wants out his future awaits him on his grandmother s land, where the sounds of cicada and frog song might save him if only he can make it there.
In Mathis s electrifying novel, Bonaparte is both mythic landscape and spiritual inheritance, and 1980s Philadelphia is its raw, darkly glittering counterpoint. The Unsettled is a spellbinding portrait of two fierce women reckoning with the steep cost of resistance: What legacy will we leave our children? Where can we be free?
