“Francis-Sharma forges a persuasively researched account so richly evocative of a relatively obscure corner of history as to make it seem almost phantasmagorical”
“An intoxicating tale of intrigue, love, conflict and struggle that shines a bright light on the little-known connections between the Caribbean and the United States.”
“A shimmering epic that forges new paths into the old territory of the American West. Brilliant and unforgettable. Book of the Little Axe is an astonishing journey.”
“Rather than retell a story of first contact between native people and newcomers to the new world, Francis-Sharma has produced a deeply moving novel about the ways in which all of us have always been connected.”
—David Treuer, author of The Heartbeat at Wounded Knee
