Author of The Warmth of Other Suns
“The Warmth of Other Suns is a brilliant and stirring epic, the first book to cover the full half-century of the Great Migration… Wilkerson combines impressive research…with great narrative and literary power. Ms. Wilkerson does for the Great Migration what John Steinbeck did for the Okies in his fiction masterpiece, “The Grapes of Wrath”; she humanizes history, giving it emotional and psychological depth.”
