BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE STREET
With a new introduction by Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of Libertie
'Petry is the writer we have been waiting for . . . insightful, prescient and unputdownable' TAYARI JONES
'A masterpiece' NEW YORK TIMES
It's past midnight, and thick fog rolls in from the river like smoke. Link Williams is standing on the dock when he hears quick footsteps approaching, and the gasp of a woman too terrified to scream. After chasing off her pursuer, he takes the woman to a nearby bar to calm her nerves, and as they enter, it's as if the oxygen has left the room: in the dim light, they can see that he's Black and she's white.
Link is a brilliant Dartmouth graduate, who, because of the lack of opportunities available to him, tends bar; Camilo is a wealthy, married heiress who has crossed the town's racial divide to relieve the tedium of her privileged life. Brought together by chance, Link and Camilo draw each other into furtive encounters that violate the rigid and uncompromising social codes of their times.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Petry is the writer we have been waiting for, hers are the stories we need to fully illuminate the questions of our moment, while also offering a page-turning good time. Ann Petry, the woman, had it all, and so does her insightful, prescient and unputdownable prose.... The Narrows is the story of a doomed interracial romance that proves that passion and prejudice are not mutually exclusive." (Tayari Jones, New York Times)

"Her work endures not only because it illuminates reality, but because it harnesses the power of fiction to supplant it." (Parul Sehgal, New York Times)
"The Street and The Narrows are masterpieces of social realism.... [Petry's] writing transcends comparisons. It's volatile but exacting, heartbreaking but often brutally funny. Labels don't stick to it." (Wall Street Journal)
