The Narrows by Ann Petry

4.0

So so so much to think about here. I had to wade through some patches but that doesn’t mean every single word isn’t important and well thought out. There is a dynamic story at the center and the book is really about how every single character is impacted by their race, the race of those around them, and the racist culture of Americans. Beautifully done and an eye opener. An important book.
