Sing, Unburied, Sing - Jesmyn Ward

Thirteen year old Jojo sets out on a road trip with his mother Leonie to collect his father from prison. Travelling across the deep South with his baby sister and their troubled mother, the journey slowly reveals the complicated history that binds their family together.

All at once a road novel, a ghost story and a portrait of contemporary America, Sing, Unburied, Sing moves between past and present, memory and haunting. Jesmyn Ward weaves together generations of pain, love and survival with extraordinary lyricism.

The novel explores the weight of inheritance…both the tenderness families offer and the wounds they pass down. Through Jojo’s steady voice and Leonie’s restless longing, Ward captures lives shaped by racism, addiction and the search for belonging.

For readers drawn to lyrical literary fiction with a touch of the uncanny.
