In the town of Dominion, Mississippi, Reverend Sabre Winfrey, Jr. is more than a preacher. From his pulpit to the airwaves of his local radio station, he exerts influence over every aspect of society. By his side is his wife Priscilla, who types up his sermons and raises their five sons, favouring the youngest, Wonderboy.
Handsome and adored, Wonderboy is destined to carry on his father's legacy. But, after a violent altercation with a stranger, Wonderboy's actions send
shockwaves through the community. Told through the perspectives of the women who love these two men, this Morrisonian novel illuminates the sins of the patriarchy, and the bargains women strike to survive them.
An unforgettable story, Dominion is the incandescent debut from one of America’s most exciting writers.
