Someone will come. Sirens will sound in the distance. Lights will rise from darkness like seraphs, dancing red and blue. Salvation will be brought by men sent from God. “Gorgeous… the melancholic narrative builds to a satisfying crescendo. This is one to savor.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “...A beautiful meditation on the meaning of existing as a Black queer person and the fraught tensions that belie interracial relationships.” —Harper’s Bazaar On 7 Most-Anticipated Lists

When the Harvest Comes

A Novel by Denne Michele Norris

Praise
For

“Harvest”

Cover of When the Harvest Comes

When the Harvest Comes is a book to sink into, to luxuriate within. ... It’s only when you’re finished that you realize that you’ve never before read a story quite like this one.”

—Torrey Peters,
author of Detransition, Baby


“Epic, intimate, brutal, and tender, Denne Michele Norris has written a breathtaking testimony about the boundlessness of love.”

—Deesha Philyaw, author of
The Secret Lives of Church Ladies


“A story of becoming yourself that isn’t like anything I’ve ever read. We are still getting the literature we deserve, and Norris takes us further down that road with this brave and powerful novel exploring the freedom we find in the presence of those loves we cannot hide from.”

—Alexander Chee,
author of The Queen of the Night
