THE SALT EATERS by Toni Cade Bambara (SOLD OUT)

Toni Cade Bambara concerned herself greatly with the well-being of others: African-American women, activists on the brink, youth with their whole lives ahead of them. 

She was one of the first authors to ever assemble a Black feminist anthology and certainly one of the first to ever write a novel quite like this one. To read “The Salt Eaters” is to enter the world of a gifted storyteller, just as she enters into the minds of those who need to be healed… and those who heal. 

• A community of Black faith healers witness an event that will change their lives forever in this “hard-nosed, wise, funny” novel (Los Angeles Times).

• Set in a fictional city in the American South, the novel also “inhabits the nonlinear, sacred space and sacred time of traditional African religion” (The New York Times Book Review).

• One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
