NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey’s next book club pick is a memoir about a wrongful murder conviction and the long fight to win acquittal.

Winfrey’s “O” magazine and OWN network said Tuesday she has selected Anthony Ray Hinton’s “The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row.” Winfrey’s interview with Hinton will air Sunday on OWN and her magazine will highlight the book in its July issue. In a promotional video on Tuesday, Winfrey called the book a compelling read with the power of an “epic novel.”

Published in March, “The Sun Does Shine” tells of Hinton’s nearly 30 years behind bars. He was released in 2015.
