Summary of My Soul to Keep
From the acclaimed author of "The Between" comes a novel of supernatural suspense. When Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant, attentive, and ever youthful. When people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession--he's an immortal. Harrowing and engrossing, "My Soul to Keep" follows a young woman as she battles with paying the price for eternal life.Tananarive Due is intrigued by how unfolding timelines and alternate destinies impinge on people's lives. "How frightening it is," she writes, "when fate is at liberty to take over what will has begun." As in her absorbing first novel, The Between, My Soul to Keep is about what happens when the domestic joy of a middle-class African American family (in this story, he's a jazz scholar, she's a reporter, and they have a 5-year-old daughter) is shattered by supernatural forces and memories of events long past. The story is deeply involving because of the characters' appeal, and suspenseful because the loving husband (who turns out to be a 500-year-old immortal) is so alien, he's utterly unpredictable. The passages recalling the husband's experiences as a slave in the American South in the 1800s are especially gripping. It's a melodramatic approach to dark fantasy, but it works well.
