Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward

5.0

“Sometimes the world don’t give you what you need, no matter how hard you look. Sometimes it withholds.”

Jesmyn Ward, the writer you are.

Set in rural Mississippi, Sing, Unburied, Sing is an atmospheric, somber Southern Gothic novel written in a hauntingly poetic way. The central themes revolve around grief and homecoming (or homegoing), intertwining the experiences, stories, complex relationships, and souls of our characters in the flesh and in the spirit form. Simply rich.
