The WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS; The Epic Story of America's Great Migration, by Isabel Wilkerson




The San Francisco Chronicle writes: “Not since Alex Haley’s Roots has there been a history of equal literary quality where the writing surmounts the rhythmic soul of fiction, where the writer’s voice sings a song of redemptive glory as true as Faulkner’s southern cantatas.”
