Produktbeschreibung

'A pinball machine zinging with sharp dialogue, breathtaking plot twists and naughty humour . . . McBride at his brave and joyous best' New York Times Book Review

An antiques dealer discovers that a legendary toy commissioned by a Civil War General now sits in the home of a black minister in Queens. Five strangers find themselves thrown together and face unexpected judgment. An American president draws inspiration from a conversation he overhears in a stable. And members of The Five-Carat Soul Bottom Bone Band recount stories from their messy and hilarious lives.

Five Carat Soul is an unforgettable collection of interconnected stories that is also a moving exploration of our human condition.
