Not as overwhelmingly impressive as I'd expected, but still very beautifully sad. I did keep wondering in which time this was set.

had to read for my african american literature course; probs not something i would have picked up on my own. this book was both sad and frustrating, and i didn't like the characters very much... maybe i'll reread this someday (though i don't like enjoy reading about Black pain).
