Phenomenal book. A very complex coming of age story in a way that spans generations; a reminder that we've never arrived, and that there's always some learning and changing to occur as we learn more about the world around us. This book is a classic for sure, one I see being used as coursework literature material for generations to come. This book discusses class, race, womanhood, girlhood, existentialism, and quiet literally every facet of American life in a subtle, tangible, relatable way that's poignant yet never preachy. A story for the ages for sure. Everyone should read this book

"Um ehrlich zu sein, ich weiß es nicht. Aber sie wird es überleben. Manchmal denkt man, es geht nicht mehr weiter, und findet doch einen Weg." Mia suchte nach einer passenden Erklärung. "Es ist wie nach einem Präriefeuer. Vor einigen Jahren, als wir in Nebraska waren, hab ich mal eins gesehen. Man meint, das Ende der Welt zu sehen. Die Erde ist völlig versengt und schwarz, alles Grün ist verschwunden. Aber nach dem Brand ist der Boden fruchtbarer, und Neues kann wachsen."
