In this atmospheric novel set in the Jim Crow South, a powerful Black family fights to protect their empire—an "unforgettable must-read" for listeners of Tayari Jones (Victoria Christopher Murray, New York Times bestselling author).

Jordan Sable, a prosperous undertaker turned political boss, has controlled the Black vote in St. Louis for decades. Sara, his equally formidable wife, runs the renowned funeral establishment that put the Sable name on the map. Together they have pushed through obstacles in order to create a legacy for their children. When tragedy bursts their carefully constructed empire of dignity and safety, the family rallies around an unconventional solution. But at what cost?

Set in the Midwest in the 1940s, The Sable Cloak is a rarely seen portrait of an upper middle class, African American family in the pre-Civil Rights era. This deeply personal novel inspired by the author's own family history delves into legacy and the stories we tell ourselves, and celebrates a largely self-sustaining, culturally rich Missouri community that most Americans may not be aware of.

I like how fast the story moves through history as narrated fiction. Each chapter is packed with action and suspense while sharing a part of history as only Gail Milissa Grant can do.. The dialogue and high drama keep you intrigued and wanting more. Thus, my only disappointment was the ending.

In Love with Sable!
