The Long Dark Trail

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of American history, the narrative follows the Allen family across generations, tracing their journey from England to their complex relationships with the Green family. The contrasting responses to black emancipation highlight deep societal divides: the Greens embrace change and share their land with former slaves, while the Allens cling to outdated beliefs. As the mid-twentieth century unfolds, family patriarch Bob Allen's enduring racism reflects a broader struggle with evolving societal norms.
