  • A Million Nightingales is a 2006 historical novel by Susan Straight. The novel is about Moinette Antoine, a beautiful and self-educated slave of mixed race living in Louisiana in the early to mid-19th century. Moinette narrates her own story from age 14 when she is taken from her mother to the end of her life when she has become a free woman and business owner. The first-person narration is done in a stream of consciousness style that focuses on Moinette's insightful thoughts and impressions of the strange and brutal world around her. Major themes include the legacy of slavery in America, women as property, and mother-daughter relationships. It is the first novel in a set of three companion novels known as the Rio Seco trilogy.
