Any Known Blood

Langston Cane V is 38, divorced and working as a government speechwriter, until he€s fired for sabotaging the minister€s speech. It seems the perfect time for Langston, the eldest son of a white mother and prominent black father, to embark on a quest to discover his family€s past -- and his own sense of self.

Any Known Blood follows five generations of an African-Canadian-American family in a compelling story that slips effortlessly from the slave trade of 19th-century Virginia to the modern, predominantly white suburbs of Oakville, Ontario -- once a final stop on the Underground Railroad. Elegant and sensuous, wry and witty, it is an engrossing tale about one man€s attempt to find himself through unearthing and giving voice to those who came before him.
