 . NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK • WINNER OF THE K
 IRKUS PRIZE • A magnificent new novel from the bestselling\, award-winni
 ng author of An American Marriage —Tayari Jones has written an unforgett
 able novel that sparkles with wit and intelligence and deep feeling about 
 two lifelong friends whose worlds converge after many years apart in the f
 ace of a devastating tragedy. “ Kin is the kind of all-encompassing read
 ing experience I’m always hoping to find: smart and funny and deftly pro
 found. This is Tayari Jones’s very best work.” —Ann Patchett\, autho
 r of Whistler Vernice and Annie\, two motherless daughters raised in Honey
 suckle\, Louisiana\, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest c
 hildhood but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce
  aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s d
 eath\, Vernice leaves Honeysuckle at eighteen for Spelman College\, where 
 she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and discovers a
  world of affluence\, manners\, aspiration\, and inequality. Annie\, aband
 oned by her mother as a child and fixated on the idea of finding her and f
 illing the bottomless hole left by her absence\, sets off on a journey tha
 t will take her into a world of peril and adversity\, as well as love and 
 adventure\, culminating in a battle for her life. A novel about mothers an
 d daughters\, friendship and sisterhood\, and the complexities of being a 
 woman in the American South\, Kin is an exuberant\, emotionally rich\, unf
 orgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in 
 contemporary fiction.Contributor Bio(s)TAYARI JONES i
