dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad

 sometimes I am sure a book will be 5 stars before I even read it. and this actually managed to live up to expectations.
it's about the dust storms in 1930s America and about forgetting and about complicity in stealing native American lands. it's also about a witch, a scarecrow, a girl, and a cat.
