About this book
In 1920s Harlem, Joe Trace shoots his young lover, Dorcas. His wife, Violet, comes to the funeral and later seeks out people who knew the girl. A narrator who keeps reconsidering the story follows the characters back through their Southern histories, letting the novel circle and revise its account like a musician returning to a theme.
