Summary
From the author of Dear Marcus comes a breathtaking novel about a fated love affair that crosses the divides of race and class.
Rashid is a young Black man from Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, with a complicated life. Looking for an escape from a neighborhood few ever leave, he finds it in Rachel - married, twenty years his senior, and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. It begins with a flirtation and a tryst. It becomes an intense romance, exhilarating and enriching, that defies the expectations of Rashid’s friends and family. What draws Rachel to Rashid is his curiosity, his need for intimacy, and his adoration - everything lacking in her crumbling marriage. But as the fault lines of their relationship become more prevalent, so do the inevitable choices one makes when falling in love.

“Smart and touching…McGill succeeds in depicting love as a universal force, for better or for worse.”—Publishers Weekly
“Love defies all odds in Jerry McGill’s lyrical and heartbreaking novel Bed Stuy.”—POPSUGAR
