About The Author	KAI THOMAS is a writer, carpenter and land steward. He is Afro-Canadian, born and raised in Ottawa, descended from Trinidad and the British Isles. In the Upper Country is his first novel.
	The harshly real and the fantastic mingle in ways that recall Ta-Nehisi Coates's The Water Dancer and Esi Edugyan's Washington Black. What's most impressive is Thomas's imaginative power; sure-handed, often lyrical prose; and strong, complex, resilient women. An exceptional work that mines a rich historical vein
Other text	The fates of two unforgettable women – one just beginning a journey of reckoning and self-discovery and the other completing her life's last vital act – intertwine in this ambitious and inventive debut set at the terminus of the Underground Railroad.
