challenging emotional reflective tense slow-paced

4.0

this book was practically poetry in the way it read. i felt at times unable to fully grasp the concepts due to how purposefully vague the writing was, but i’d love to slowly reread it sections at a time and really unpack all the complex notions that are within each line.

struggled to stick with it — objectively it’s a very brilliant novel, piercing in its social and systemic observations that i felt were more searing and sharp than most of what people try to wax poetic about in novels at the moment. natasha brown is so smart and the novel so deep with passion.

for me, the flow of the novel felt a bit disjointed and maybe even too inferior for someone who likes to peruse the depth of a characters interiority . but it was brilliant.

might have been better at a different time for me but i think it was great.

An artful insight into the otherness experienced by a successful black woman. It's fiction, but it has a rare sense of tangibility and is grounded in the reality of which the windrush scandal is just the tip of the iceberg.
