MEET ME IN THE GARDEN by Nina LaCour

It's no secret that we folks behind 50 Free Books are Nina LaCour super-fans, and this month she released MEET ME IN THE GARDEN: a decades-spanning epic inspired by her own family’s experience during the Great Migration.

Set between New Orleans and Los Angeles in the mid-twentieth century, the novel follows Odette Honore from her teens through motherhood. It’s a sweeping story of love and longing, art and family, friendship and desire, that feels both current and classic. LaCour’s most ambitious novel to date, it’s an effortless read you won’t be able to put down—and all 50 copies have been hand-signed by Nina herself!
