About this product
Product Information
Our narrator is a gifted photographer, an uncertain wife, an infertile mother, a biracial woman in an unraveling America. As she grapples with a lifetime of ambivalence about motherhood, yet another act of police brutality makes headlines, and this time the victim is Noah, a boy in her photography class. Unmoored by the grief of a recent devastating miscarriage and Noah's fight for his life, she worries she can no longer chase the hope of having a child, no longer wants to bring a Black body into the world. Yet her husband Asher - contributing white, Jewish genes alongside her Black-Japanese ones for any potential child - is just as desperate to keep trying. Throwing herself into a new documentary on motherhood, and making secret visits to Noah in the hospital, this when she learns she is, impossibly, pregnant. As the future shifts once again, she must decide yet again what she dares hope for the shape of her future to be. Fearless, timely, blazing with voice, Blue Hour is a fragmentary novel with unignorable storytelling power.

A Debutiful Most Anticipated Book of the Year Zibby's Mag , A Most Anticipated Book of 2023 "In a world full of demands and distractions, Blue Hour asks us to pause and sit with our grief. Challenging, intimate, and relevant, this novel is a meditation on the boundaries of hope." --Osa Atoe, author of Shotgun Seamstress " Blue Hour is a pulsing and powerful novel about grief, motherhood, storytelling, and self. At once ragged, raw, and transcendent, Harrison's novel marries the universality of maternal love and loss with the specificity of mothering Black and biracial children in contemporary America. A short, beautiful, intensely present work of art." --Lydia Kielsing, author of The Golden State " Blue Hour is a poetic and feverish debut, a story that laces together the struggles of marriage and motherhood, art and artist, race and violence in America into a powerful web, much bigger and stronger than its slender spine would suggest. If you loved Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill, the work of Rachel Cusk, or Luster by Raven Leilani, this book is for you." --Ashley Warlick, author of The Arrangement "An exquisite melancholic portrait of motherhood and marriage for a biracial woman in America. Tiffany Clarke Harrison writes about miscarriage with fleshy, beating rawness leaving us painfully undone, and beautifully seen. Blue Hour has captured the dark question of modern motherhood amid police brutality and racism in America--do we really want to bring kids into this? There is no other book I'd rather read, than hers . . . I never want to love or lose again without it." --Sarah Hosseini, Writer, Journalist, Professor, Zibby's Mag , A Most Anticipated Book of 2023 "In a world full of demands and distractions, Blue Hour asks us to pause and sit with our grief.

In the vein of Jenny Offill and Raven Leilani, Harrison's debut offers an intimate slice-of-life portrait with no easy questions or answers. A poetic novel that dances on the edge of hope and despair." -- Kirkus Reviews "In a world full of demands and distractions, Blue Hour asks us to pause and sit with our grief.
