    De nieuwere wereld

    ‘Onderweg naar huis wist ik dat er geen thuis was. Alle oude dingen, mijn dagen op deze wereld, zelfs de ogen waarmee ik die had gezien, waren voorgoed weg.’ Het leven van Tennyson Bouguereau, in slavernij geboren in Tennessee, draait om zijn tweelingzus Rosalee, zijn werk in de tabaksvelden van de familie Magan en het ontlopen van confrontaties met zijn buren. In de chaotische nasleep van de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog, wanneer een bende verslagen soldaten de boerderij belaagt, begaat Tennyson een daad waardoor hij alles wat hij kent moet achterlaten en zich in de nieuwere wereld moet wagen. In het snel veranderende negentiende-eeuwse Amerika, van een koorschool in Nashville tot een legerkamp in New Mexico, is De nieuwere wereld een onvergetelijke, bezielde roman over wat het betekent om te overleven en wat onderweg verloren kan gaan.
