Sugar
by Bernice L. McFadden
SUGAR by BERNICE L MCDFADDEN
[AD PR] thanks @vintagebooks
I learned about this book a couple of years ago from an American Bookstagrammer, but I could never find it in this country. Turns out it hadn’t been published in this country until now, even though it was published in 2000 in America. Stuff like this always makes me wonder how many amazing books we miss out on because of geography.
This is a book that will be hard to forget. Sugar and Pearl are our protagonists and they have both been through a lot, but as they grow closer together, they both begin to feel happy for the first time in a long time. Pearl has a gap in her life where her daughter should be and Sugar has one where a mother should be, so the two are perfectly paired to bring joy to one another. Having said that, this book is far from joyful and there were moments of sadness that made me feel sick to my stomach. My feelings for the characters are so strong and so real.
I am in awe of McFadden’s talent and I’m so glad I finally got to read this book.
