New Orleans, 1853. A young Zapotec man named Benito Juarez disembarks at a fetid port city at the edge of a swamp along with a small group of fellow political exiles from Mexico. Later, in 1858, he is to become the first indigenous Mexican president, but now he is as anonymous and invisible as any other migrant to the roiling and alluring city. He falls in love with the music and food, but unavoidable, too, is the trade in human beings.

A magnificent work of speculative history and a love letter to New Orleans.

'One of the most original and prodigiously gifted writers at work today.' Katie Kitamura

Industry Reviews

'As glorious and messy as the best New Orleans gumbo, the novel comes together as Herrera vividly depicts the chaos of Mardi Gras. It's a triumph.' Publishers Weekly, starred review
