NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER
In The Warmth of Other Suns, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson delivers a sweeping, beautifully written account of the Great Migration—one of the most transformative, yet untold, stories in American history. Between World War I and 1970, six million Black Americans fled the oppressive South in search of a better life in the North and West.
Through the lives of three unforgettable individuals—Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling, and Robert Foster—Wilkerson humanizes this mass exodus, capturing their treacherous journeys, struggles, and triumphs.
Winner of multiple prestigious awards and hailed as one of The New York Times’s Five Best Books of the 21st Century, The Warmth of Other Suns is a modern classic that redefines the American experience.
