No one knows the worst thing they're capable of until they do it . . . 

A murder mystery that travels across the Atlantic and through the darkest channels of history, The Confessions of Frannie Langton is a brilliant, searing depiction of race, class, and oppression that penetrates the skin and sears the soul as it tells the tale of a woman of her own making in a world that would love to see her unmade. 

“By turns lush, gritty, wry, gothic and compulsive, The Confessions of Frannie Langton is a dazzling page-turner full of psychological savvy and righteous wrath as Sara Collins twists together the slave narrative, bildungsroman, love story, and crime novel to make something new.” -- Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of The Pull of the Stars, Room, Akin, and The Wonder
