It demonstrates how whiteness is purely a creation of perspective. Yet it proves how deadly and cruel that perspective is.
Stella makes a choice and she has to live with the consequences of that choose everyday.
While climax of the story was a quieter storm than I anticipated it didn't make it any less impact full or the grief less palpable.
The story does not end as neatly or with the amount of closure most readers like myself were hoping for. However that is more reflective of real life, our complicated relationship often don't end with the right amount of closure we need and we end of living with that grief.
This story is one of how each women lives with her grief and how that impacts their relationships with other.
This book is definitely a new favorite.
It felt like it took quite a while for the story to get started, but once it did it was outstanding and gripping!
Overall an impressive and impact read for Black History Month.
