I read this book for university and it was meant to reflect on the displacement of black immigrant women but I honestly took more to the main character and saw part of her in myself and some parts of my life in her.
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship and Child abuse
Moderate: Sexual content, Racism, Infidelity, Grief, Emotional abuse, Death of parent, and Pedophilia
There is a part where the main character has a reaction to another character's sexual abuse that I found triggering.
