Really enjoyed this.

Quick thoughts: Historical fiction primarily about a mother and daughter both born into slavery. The timeline toggles back and forth between the years before the Civil War and the years right after the Civil War. Both women work as conjure women/healers/midwives.

might write a full review later, if I have the energy. :D

This is a treasure of a book, very ethereal, interesting, honest.  Occasionally got to be a bit of a slog but well worth it to push through.  Recommend.
