The Temple of My Familiar by Alice Walker

4.0

reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Of this series, this book has the hardest group of characters to love. Perhaps that is a cultural difference on my part. There are lots of characters in this one and unfortunately for me, the one I struggled the most to avoid actively hating is the most present. A re-read with carefully curated discussion questions might be the best way to get through this one, as you'll be forced to take the time to process everything and where every character is.
