Lucinda Roy, best-selling author of The Hotel Alleluia, received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal for Lady Moses, her debut novel. Poetic and earthy, it traces the turbulent life of Jacinta Moses, child of a black African writer and a white British actress. "A dazzling debut . Roy handles her complex plot with impressive authority [and] her characters are rendered with depth." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
