Respiri di cani randagi sui marciapiedi umidi. Per avere conferma che in questo mondo l’uomo ancora sopravvive, bisogna cercare i teleschermi accesi. Le centinaia di milioni di persone che li guardano immobili sono uno sterminato esercito di terracotta incapace di reagire.

Set in the Five Points neighborhood of New York City, in the years 1857-1863, when America's attitudes toward people of color and slavery shifted—painfully, transformationally—to the point where a war that began to restore the union becomes one that owes much to Black fighting regiments, and common cause grows for the abolition of slavery. We experience the daily life of Five Points through the eyes of Theo, aged seven at the start of the book and 13 at its close. Theo is half Black and half Irish, an orphan living between the homes of her Black and Irish grandparents.
