博客來Love. Betrayal. Hoodoo.
In 1933 New Orleans, Violet Booker’s dreams of becoming a schoolteacher shatter when she falls for Clarence Margaret-a married man whose wife, Maria, is a feared and powerful Hoodoo practitioner. After Violet’s scandalous pregnancy forces her into exile in Harlem, she discovers that passion comes at a deadly price.
Back home, Maria wages a spiritual war to protect her family using roots, rituals, and whispered curses, while Clarence’s secrets unravel through affairs, snake bites, and shocking violence. In Harlem, Violet battles poverty, deception, and the grip of a dangerous gambler who may be her salvation-or her doom.
Pieces is a lush, unflinching exploration of love, legacy, and survival in a world where Black women must fight not only for their dignity-but their very lives. With lyrical prose and characters that leap off the page, Sondra J. Hardy delivers a Southern Gothic saga steeped in Creole mysticism, Jim Crow injustice, and the fierce resilience of mothers, daughters, and lovers torn apart by desire and duty.
Perfect for fans of The Vanishing Half, Homegoing, and The Personal Librarian, this haunting debut will leave you breathless until the final, spellbinding page.
