- Summary:
- In the unforgettable tradition of An Instance of the Fingerpost comes a spellbinding historical mystery from the internationally bestselling author of The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon. A freed African slave, a bereft child, and the rich history of the secret Jews in nineteenth-century Portugal collide memorably in Richard Zimler's mesmerizing epic. An intensely moving story of courage and redemption, Hunting Midnight recounts one boy's remarkable friendship with an African mystical healer known only as Midnight. But an unspeakable act of betrayal--committed by the people he trusted most--radically alters the course of John Zarco Stewart's destiny, propelling him on an unforgettable quest for truth, love, and redemption. From the mysteries of Africa to the tumultuous upheavals in Europe to the drowsy plantations of the American South, Hunting Midnight is a dazzling work of historical fiction from a masterful writer.
