Recommended by bookseller Camille Van de Velde:

"In this Blues-infused ghost story, British novelist Hari Kunzru takes the reader on a journey through time and through the United States, from New York to Mississippi via Virginia. Two young music fanatics from New York discover a song that will confront them with the past and the people that were affected by their ancestors. This novel tackles not only the dark past of exploitation through slavery in the Southern States but also the current problem of cultural appropriation."
