sarah984's review against another edition
dark
hopeful
reflective
medium-paced
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
4.0
This book was a beautiful but difficult read about one family on two continents grappling with the legacy of slavery and colonialism. Each chapter was told from the point of view of one individual, moving forward in time but still linking back.
