HTML:<b>This <i>New York Times Book Review</i> Notable Book of the Year is "a powerful tale of racial tensions across generations" (<i>People</i>) that </b>explores the depths of women’s relationships—powerful women and marginalized women, healers and survivors. <i><br /></i><br /> In 1924, Josephine is the proud owner of a thriving farm. As a child, she channeled otherworldly power to free herself from slavery. Now her new neighbor, a white woman named Charlotte, seeks her company, and an uneasy friendship grows between them. But Charlotte has also sought solace in the Ku Klux Klan, a relationship that jeopardizes Josephine’s family.<br /> Nearly one hundred years later, Josephine’s descendant, Ava, is a single mother who has just lost her job. She moves in with her white grandmother, Martha, a wealthy but lonely woman who pays Ava to be her companion. But Martha’s behavior soon becomes erratic, then threatening, and Ava must escape before her story and Josephine’s converge.<br /> <i>The Revisioners</i> explores the depths of women’s relationships—powerful women and marginalized women, healers and survivors. It is a novel about the bonds between mothers and their children, the dangers that upend those bonds. At its core, <i>The Revisioners</i> ponders generational legacies, the endurance of hope, and the undying promise of freedom.<br /> <b>"[A] stunning new novel . . . Sexton’s writing is clear and uncluttered, the dialogue authentic, with all the cadences of real speech . . . This is a novel about the women, the mothers." ―<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b>.
