LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTRE FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE & AN BEST BOOK OF 2025
In the town of Dominion, Mississippi, Reverend Sabre Winfrey is more than a preacher. From his pulpit at the Seven Seals Baptist Church to the airwaves of his local radio station, he exerts influence over every aspect of society. By his side is his wife Priscilla, who types up his sermons and raises their five sons, favouring the youngest, Wonderboy.
Handsome and adored, Wonderboy is destined to carry on his father’s legacy. But, after a violent altercation with a stranger, Wonderboy’s actions send shockwaves through the community. Told from the perspectives of the women who love these two men, this Morrisonian, God-troubled novel illuminates the pervasive sins of the patriarchy, and the bargains women strike to survive them.
A vivid and unforgettable story that exalts the beauty and strength of Black womanhood, DOMINION is the incandescent debut from one of America’s most exciting writers.
