Description
Hilary Jordan writes character-driven novels about division and injustice: the unnecessary division between blacks and whites, the necessary division between faith and law, and the resulting injustice they both engender. Jordan's various characters are all distinctively rendered and completely believable. She knows how it feels to be utterly isolated by deeply flawed laws and foolish prejudices; righteous fury is an ever-present undercurrent in her work. Although she gives us occasional flashes of the possibility of happiness, in the end Jordan has a grim view of humanity's innate capacity for kindness and empathy. Start with: Mudbound
