Fiction
James by Percival Everett (ISBN: 9781035031238, hardback). In this reimagining of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, enslaved Jim emerges to claim his voice, as he and Huck set off on a life-changing odyssey, down the Mississippi River towards the elusive ‘free’ states. In the words of author Ann Patchett, it is ‘funny and horrifying, brilliant and riveting’.
