Divided by history, reunited by passion
Soon the reader is transported to Natchez, Miss., where Harrison, just released from the Union Army, searches for Tirzah, hoping to rekindle their relationship. The formerly rich city is in ruin, and the plantation where Tirzah once worked has been abandoned. Jerkins's description of post-war Natchez could easily be mistaken for post-apocalyptic: 'As he and his fellow soldiers rode their horses on a trail alongside the Mississippi approaching the city, they saw that all the levees had been destroyed. With each step closer to their destination, the smell of festering animal carcasses became stronger. Weeds and swampland had swallowed up fields upon fields of cotton.'

She not only survives, she rebuilds. Her story spans the deep south to the great plains when she and other family members head to Jerkins gives her such screen-ready dialogue that it's easy to imagine Tirzah's plotline adapted for film or TV. The historical parts of the book, which run from 1865 to 1912, are riveting, as we watch tightly knit Black communities help each other survive in the face of inevitable displacement at the hands of violent whites. The history is meticulously recreated, down to the way people say the word 'children' ('chirren'), which eventually becomes a key plot point in the contemporary storyline. Related : Perhaps inevitably, the stakes of Oliver and Ardelia's romance feel low in contrast to the epic historical sweep of Tirzah and Harrison's everlasting love. Oliver is a doctor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital when the novel coronavirus arrives in America. The stress and trauma of his grim work cause him to disengage from Ardelia's wedding planning. Eventually they take a break from each other, and the break evolves into a breakup. Tirzah's love letter sparks Ardelia's genealogical curiosity, and her search for the truth behind her ancestral origins brings her back to Oliver.

Still, one can forgive a few glitches in an ambitious book that covers over 150 years and parts of Black American history that aren't widely known.

Safi Bugel's experimental album of the month
In recent years, there's been a real appetite for a certain strain of hazy, quietly off-kilter pop made by classically trained musicians who favour a more DIY approach. Think Astrid Sonne, ML Buch or Tirzah, all of whom have put out records that are simultaneously cosy and jarring. Affectionately, the debut album by Raisa K, has a similar blueprint: simple melodies, unaffected vocals and scrappy production. The formula makes sense: K is a longstanding member of the pop-not-pop group Good Sad Happy Bad, and the record enlists some of the key players from that world: bandmates Marc Pell and Mica Levi (also Tirzah's producer) plus friend and collaborator Coby Sey. Here K takes the lead, exploring the mundanity of love, trust and tension with unembellished candour. The lyrics are unshowy – the kind of nonchalant sentiment you might jot down in your Notes app. These 12 short tracks are almost entirely laptop-produced, and each one is as wonky as it is soft and hooky, with an industrial crunch looming over a sweet sentiment, or a rickety Midi loop throwing off an otherwise-steady rhythm. Even with their simple mechanics and clear shared scene DNA, K's songs are striking. Feel It is especially hefty, with its confrontational vocals, clattering percussion and dense low-end frequencies. That weight carries into the more stripped-back interludes, as in the gorgeous, tender Stay. Standouts like As It Seems, or the more peppy Step, are also brilliant in a different way, as moreish as chart music from a parallel universe. The record was apparently written in snatches in K's schedule: mid-commute, during work breaks, watching her kids at the playground. It's a small detail that captures the album's strength: it celebrates a kind of everyday intimacy, one that's messy and unpredictable. Don Kashew has been crafting percussive, downtempo rhythms in a corner of the internet for some time. This month, the Zurich-based producer adds to the canon with Bellows (Subject to Restrictions), a collection of hypnotic, almost eerie, tracks, where neo-folk woodwind instruments wind around swampy synthesisers. In 2017, Japanese experimental musician and former punk Posuposu Otani relocated to the mountains of Kanagawa to explore his connection to nature through the medium of throat singing and the Jew's harp. On his self-titled debut album (33-33), we hear those guttural, gurgling sounds offset against gentle melodies: a strangely relaxing listen. There's another strong debut from Horse Vision. Another Life ( presents the Stockholm duo's exciting brand of midwestern emo and country music for the online age. Think soft guitars and sad-boy lyrics, complete with Auto-Tune, scruffy electronic flourishes and an MIA reference.
