'Corregidora is the most brutally honest and painful revelation of what has occurred, and is occurring, in the souls of black men and women . . . it dares to confront the absolute terror which lives at the heart of love' James Baldwin
Blues singer Ursa is consumed by her hatred of Corregidora, a nineteenth-century slave master who fathered both her mother and grandmother. Charged with 'making generations' to bear witness to the abuse embodied in her family name, Ursa Corregidora finds herself unable to keep this legacy alive when she is made sterile in a violent fight with her husband. Haunted by the ghosts of a Brazilian plantation, pained by a present of lovelessness and despair, Ursa slowly and firmly strikes her own terms with womanhood.
'A literary giant, and one of my absolute favourite writers' Tayari Jones
'An American writer with a powerful sense of vital inheritance' John Updike
