This book is full of horror and grief, spirits and wonder, trees and mud and hope. Jesmyn Ward's writing is lush and poetic; even more intensely so in this book. I'll be drawn back to this one again I'm sure.

Beautiful/lyrical writing but I was not as drawn into the story as I was with Ward’s other novels.

I have loved every book by this author. However, this one never caught my interest. I tried several times. I may try to read it instead.
