  • "Antonio est en prison, accusé d'avoir tué son père. Son amoureuse, Natasha, poursuit une correspondance avec lui pendant des années. Mais tandis que lui tente de résister aux difficiles conditions de vie en prison, elle choisit de faire des études, devient avocate, et se marie. Un roman d'amour poignant et un témoignage bouleversant sur la condition des jeunes Noirs en Amérique. Premier roman."
  • "Harlem, 1985. Antonio has been seeing Natasha for a while now. Their relationship is full of the drama, the passion and the intensity of every first love affair. But their story is different. For Antonio is on trial for the murder of his father. This is Natasha and Antonio's story, one struggling to cope with life in jail, the other with life outside. Extraordinarily vivid and honest, their letters to each other narrate the rollercoaster ride of first love with stunning insight."
