520 |a The dangerous magic of The Night Circus meets the powerful historical exploration of The Underground Railroad in this timely and unsettling novel, set against the darkly glamorous backdrop of New York City at the dawn of WWII. Amidst the whir of city life, a girl from Harlem is drawn into the glittering underworld of Manhattan, where she<U+2019>s hired to use her knives to strike fear amongst its most dangerous denizens. But the ghosts from her past are always by her side<U+2014>and history has appeared on her doorstep to threaten the people she loves most. Can one woman ever sacrifice enough to save an entire community? Trouble the Saints is a dazzling, daring novel -- a magical love story, a compelling chronicle of interracial tension, and an altogether brilliant and deeply American saga.
