Fanny, a young black sculptor, and Tixi, a nineteen-year-old girl, fell in love and made an oath of eternal love. However, Fanny was innocently accused of rape and imprisoned. The pregnant Tichy, their family and lawyers must find evidence of Fanny's innocence before the child is born and set him free. Facing an uncertain future, the young lovers drifted between attachment, despair and hope. In this love story that interweaves passion and sadness, with blues music playing in the background, James Baldwin profoundly creates two characters so vivid and believable that their images have become an indelible part of the American soul.
