Über diesen Titel
LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2022
Sunday Times Book of the Month
SIX BROTHERS AND SISTERS. ONE INJUSTICE THAT WILL SHATTER THEIR BOND FOREVER
From the million-copy bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves comes an epic novel about the infamous, ill-fated Booth family.
Junius is the patriarch, a celebrated Shakespearean actor who fled bigamy charges in England, both a mesmerising talent and a man of terrifying instability. As his children grow up in a remote farmstead in 1830s rural Baltimore, the country draws ever closer to the boiling point of secession and civil war.
Of the six Booth siblings who survive to adulthood, each has their own dreams they must fight to realise—but it is Johnny who makes the terrible decision that will change the course of history—the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Booth is a riveting novel focused on the very things that bind, and break, a family.

"In its stretch and imaginative depth, Booth has an utterly seductive authority." (Guardian)
I highly recommend this book to readers, like me, who usually is not terribly interested in historical novels.
Well worth listening to or reading.
