About this eBook
Lured South by tales of buried treasure, Milkman embarks on an odyssey back home.
As a boy, Milkman was raised beneath the shadow of a status-obsessed father. As a man, he trails in the fiery wake of a friend bent on racial revenge. Now comes Milkman’s chance to uncover his own path. Along the way, he will lose more than he could have ever imagined. Yet in return, he will discover something far more valuable than gold: his past, his true self, his life-long dream of flight.
‘A complex, wonderfully alive and imaginative story’ Daily Telegraph
‘Song of Solomon...profoundly changed my life’ Marlon James

Amazing read. Learnt so much for this book- more especially the need to think about situations beyond my own narrowed self-centeredness.
