Named One of the Most-Anticipated Books of 2021 by: O, The Oprah Magazine ,  The New York Times , The Washington Post , Time ,  The Millions ,  Refinery29 ,  Publishers Lunch ,  BuzzFeed ,  The Rumpus ,  BookPage ,  Harper's Bazaar , Ms. , Goodreads, and more “An elegantly layered, beautifully rendered tour de force that is not to be missed.”  — Roxane Gay, author of Hunger The critically acclaimed and Whiting Award–winning author of We Love You, Charlie Freeman   returns with Libertie , an unforgettable story about one young Black girl’s attempt to find a place where she can be fully, and only, herself. Coming of age in a free Black community in Reconstruction-era Brooklyn, Libertie Sampson is all too aware that her purposeful mother, a practicing physician, has a vision for their future together: Libertie is to go to medical school and practice alongside her. But Libertie, drawn more to music than science, feels stifled by her mother’s choices and is hungry for something else—is there really only one way to have an autonomous life? And she is constantly reminded that, unlike her light-skinned mother, Libertie will not be able to pass for white. When a young man from Haiti proposes to Libertie and promises she will be his equal on the island, she accepts, only to discover that she is still subordinate to him and all men. As she tries to parse what freedom actually means for a Black woman, Libertie struggles with where she might find it—for herself and for generations to come. Inspired by the life of one of the first Black female doctors in the United States and rich with historical detail, Kaitlyn Greenidge’s new and immersive novel will resonate with readers eager to understand our present through a deep, moving, and lyrical dive into our past.
