Black April Paperback - 1998
by Julia Peterkin; Foreword by Susan Millar Williams
From the rear cover
Plowing, hog-killing, revival meetings, and conjure bags - evidence of a world dominated by hard work, religion, and magic - drive the plot of Julia Peterkin's powerful first novel, Black April, first published in 1927. In this book, the classic theme of a proud man confronting his own mortality and the tragic consequences of human desire are played out against the rituals of black country life. "The figure of Black April, the foreman of Blue Brook Plantation, who gives the book its title, is of the heroic, almost grandiose, mold of the legendary protagonists of fiction", the New York Times wrote in an early review.
