James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk is a profoundly moving novel about love in the face of injustice. Told through the eyes of 19-year-old Tish, who is in love with Fonny, a young sculptor falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned, the story follows their families’ fight to prove his innocence. The young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and hope. Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.Borrow your copy of James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk
