Crossing the River
by Caryl Phillips
Review this book!
In desperate financial straights, a father sells his three children into slavery. Using a range of voices and experimental narrative techniques, Phillips follows the scattered children across continents and through time to wherever their lives lead them: the hold of a slave ship, an African mission, Colorado, and an English village during the war.

Media Reviews
"Uncommonly resourceful...an admirably complex and artfully wrought effort to renegotiate the staggering dimensions of the African diaspora."
First Line
"A desperate foolishness. The Crops failed. I sold my children. I remember."
