All Souls' Rising by Madison Smartt Bell
Set during the slave uprising that transformed late-18th-century Saint-Domingue, this novel follows a cast of enslaved people, free people of color, and white colonists as they are swept into rebellion, political maneuvering, and the wrenching struggle to define freedom. Through vivid, often brutal scenes of combat, ritual, and intimate human choices, it blends historical events and imagined lives to examine how revolution remakes identity, faith, and the social order, and to probe the high costs and ambiguous legacies of liberation.
