Frank Yerby chronicles the passionate and turbulent relationship between an African American jazz musician and a young white Southern woman, confronting themes of racial prejudice, identity, and cross-cultural love with unflinching honesty. The novel presents a searing portrait of two worlds colliding — the sophistication of expatriate Paris and the deep-seated prejudices of the American South — and the personal cost of defying social convention. Written with Yerby's characteristic narrative drive and emotional intensity, the story illustrates how love can both liberate and endanger those who dare to embrace it across racial boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956423700699,"sku":"2026200008870-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6df4ffa9-97f6-4137-b0c1-1084529cf6a7.png?v=1783500869","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008870-secondhand-speak-now","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
