the story is told entirely through letters between the main character and her sister, and aspects of the narrative evolve out of sync as some letters arrive before others

This story is important and made me realize that I have much to learn about the history of slavery, colonialism and culture. I learned a lot from this story and hopefully it will be a gateway to a more diverse reading habit for me.
It did take me quite a while to get used to the writing style (rural and partly phonetically written down) and I had to work hard to understand it. But the work was worth it.
