In Half-Blood Blues, Esi Edugyan weaves the horror of betrayal, the burden of loyalty and the possibility that, if you don't tell your story, someone else might tell it for you. And if that happens, they just might tell it wrong . . .
The bestselling, award-winning Half-Blood Blues is an entrancing, electric story about jazz, race, love and loyalty, and the sacrifices we ask of ourselves (and demand of others) in the name of art.
"A stunningly powerful read, and a compelling story brilliantly told.” -- Quill & Quire
