About this product

The Known World by Edward P. Jones is a literary fiction novel set in antebellum Virginia, exploring the complex lives of formerly enslaved people and their descendants through the story of Henry Townsend, a former slave who becomes a plantation owner. The narrative delves into themes of identity, power, and loss as the community unravels after his death.
