About the book

James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk is a love story set in Harlem in the early 1970s. Tish Rivers and Fonny Hunt are a young couple expecting a child when Fonny is falsely accused of a serious crime and imprisoned. As their families work to defend him, Baldwin explores racism in the American justice system alongside love, family solidarity, sexuality and the determination to preserve hope under pressure.
