“One of the best books James Baldwin has ever written—perhaps the best of all.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
Includes a new introduction by Brit Bennett, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half, and special cover art featuring a portrait of James Baldwin by his friend and contemporary Beauford Delaney
Tish is nineteen years old and in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but when Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime, their families set out to clear his name and reunite the young lovers. As they face an uncertain future, Tish and Fonny experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and, not least of all, hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, James Baldwin gives us two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.
