Filled with rich history most of the story is drawn from historical events and told in McBride's style of storytelling. Song Yet Sung brings into full view a world long misunderstood in American fiction, how slavery worked, and the haunting, moral choices that lived beneath the surface, pressing both whites and blacks to search for relief in a world where both seemed to lose their moral compass. This is a story of tragic triumph, violent decisions, and unexpected kindness.
