Ending ruins the book. Seems like the stories are inserted/forced for purpose vs naturally evolved. I don't enjoy getting a dose of an authors political indoctrination in books like this one includes. As readers we need to trust the author with our time and interest- no more of this author for me. 10+ hours I cannot get back.
I'm getting to the point where I want to find out if there are politics in a book or not before I purchase it.

Absolutely loved this. It’s a brilliant weave of voices through different periods in time in America’s history, and I learned a lot.

Belongs in the curriculum of education. Incredible and deeply emotional read. It is obvious the author put significant thought and research into this novel and handles the story with such care while also sending a powerful message.
