FreeFrom Powell’s website:
Wayétu Moore’s She Would Be King (Graywolf) reimagines the story of Liberia’s early years through three unforgettable characters who share an uncommon bond. When the three meet in the settlement of Monrovia, their gifts help them salvage the tense relationship between the African American settlers and the indigenous tribes, as a new nation forms around them. She Would Be King is a novel of profound depth set against a vast canvas, and a transcendent debut from a major new author.
