Half-Blood Blues by Esi EdugyanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This novel is tightly written and strings the reader along as the author reveals, not just an aspect of history not well known, the painful past of the characters and how some of them seek resolution in their old age. This is Esi Edugyan's second novel and it was a finalist for the 2011 Man Booker Prize, a well-deserved honour. Check out her website.
