If Beale Street Could Talk -- James Baldwin, Paperback
James Baldwin's timeless, bestselling novel of love and solidarity in the face of injustice--the beloved classic that inspired the major motion picture directed by Barry Jenkins
"One of the best books James Baldwin has ever written--perhaps the best of all."--The Philadelphia Inquirer Tish is nineteen years old and in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but when Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime, their families set out to clear his name and reunite the young lovers. As they face an uncertain future, Tish and Fonny experience a kaleidoscope of emotions--affection, despair, and, not least of all, hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, James Baldwin gives us two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.
