Kin

by Tayari Jones

Kin is Tayari Jones’s fifth novel and a 2026 Oprah’s Book Club selection. Beginning in the American South during the 1950s, it explores the bonds created by family, friendship and community, and the lasting influence of motherhood and absence.

The story follows Annie and Vernice, two motherless girls raised by the complicated but loving people who step in for them. Their childhood closeness is tested as their lives take different paths, eventually bringing questions of loyalty, identity, class and chosen family to the forefront.

This is the 2026 Canadian Viking hardcover in dust jacket, ISBN 9780735240445, identified on the copyright page as the second printing. The copy is flat signed by Tayari Jones on a dedicated publisher-designed page, with no personalization visible. The dust jacket carries the Oprah’s Book Club 2026 seal.

Very Good overall, as stated by the seller. The dust jacket shows light shelf, edge and corner wear with minor creasing or rubbing, including at the lower-left rear corner and along portions of the front edge. The photographed copyright page appears clean and legible. Please check all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
