Kansas im Jahre 1857: Hier, im Mittleren Westen der USA, lebt der junge Sklave Henry Shackleford. Hier tobt auch der Krieg zwischen überzeugten Sklavenhaltern und bibeltreuen Abolitionisten besonders wüst. John Brown ist einer derjenigen, die beseelt davon sind, Gottes Willen durchzusetzen und die Schwarzen in die Freiheit zu führen. Als er zufällig in einer Kneipe auf Henrys grausamen Master trifft - einen weithin bekannten und berüchtigten Sklavenhalter -, kommt es zu einer gewalttätigen Auseinandersetzung, in deren Folge beide fliehen müssen: sowohl John Brown als auch der junge Henry, der irrtümlicherweise für ein Mädchen gehalten wird und schnell begreift, dass dies seine Vorteile hat ....

"A brilliant romp of a novel McBride pulls off his portrait masterfully, like a modern-day Mark Twain." The New York Times Book Review
"You may know the story of John Brown's unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry, but author James McBride's retelling of the events leading up to it is so imaginative, you'll race to the finish." NPR
"A boisterous, highly entertaining, altogether original novel ...There is something deeply humane in this [story], something akin to the work of Homer or Mark Twain. The Washington Post
Wildly entertaining a rollicking saga about one of America s earliest abolitionists. People
"McBride delivers another tour de force...A fascinating mix of history and mystery." Essence
"A story that's difficult to put down." Ebony
Outrageously entertaining rockets toward its inevitable and, yes, knee-slapping conclusion. Never has mayhem been this much of a humdinger. USA Today
An impressively deep comedy. Salon Both breezy and sharp, a rare combination outside of Twain. You should absolutely read it. New York Magazine
"Superbly written....McBride...transcends history and makes it come alive." The Chicago Tribune
"Absorbing and darkly funny." San Francisco Chronicle
"An irrepressibly fun read." The Seattle Times
"The Good Lord Bird is just so brilliant. It had everything I want in a novel and left me feeling both transported and transformed." John Green
"[McBride's] effervescent young narrator is pitch-perfect and wholly original." Geraldine Brooks
