Donald Levin
The World As It Is
Book blurb...
The lives of four strangers intersect when a shocking act of police violence inflames Detroit in 1963. “An unflinching, immersive, and incendiary portrait of injustice.” “Measured and haunting, this is a story that lingers long after the final page." “The historical authenticity permeates every layer, from the segregated housing protests to the nascent Motown sound.” “Historical fiction with skill and conviction . . . it deserves serious readership.” “Donald Levin masterfully developed a wide cast of characters. Even the minor characters felt fully fleshed out with their own recognizable quirks and mannerisms.” “Absorbing, angry, compassionate, and grounded in a way that stayed with me after the final page."
