'His best work to date' - Kate Saunders, Sunday Express

'An accomplished, courageous novel, beautifully constructed, able to span three decades with ease' - Literary Review
_______________

A searing novel of interracial love and social change, spanning three decades of American history, from the acclaimed author of Bright Lights, Big City

When staid Patrick Keane meets his roommate at a New England boarding-school, a strange, enduring friendship of extremes is forged. For Will Savage, privileged white son of the Mississippi Delta, has embraced black soul music and adopted its raw, searing anthems as his own.

Spanning three decades from the turbulent sixties to the nineties, The Last of the Savages is a profound exploration of interracial love, music, family, honour and friendship.
