I suppose that the absolutely mind blowingly gorgeous writing was what made this story so readable despite the heartbreaking subject matter. We must never forget the horrors of slavery and the many ways racial injustice has been part (and is currently part) of our nation's history.

Beautiful. Powerful. Hard. Not a lot of hope to balance it which is fine but makes for a challenging read, as it should.

کتاب تلخی بود. نه صرفا به معنی استعاری، داستان رسما مزه‌ی زهرمار می‌داد. عصبانی و غمگینم کرد.

Perhaps because it was an audiobook, but I didn't like this book.  Maybe I'll try again another year.
