This was definitely a hard read due to the subject matter. The way the layers were peeled back was definitely painful before it was enlightening, but, as another reviewer wrote, the final chapter lends some catharsis and satisfaction.
I’m glad I pushed through. Morrison is wildly talented in her storytelling. Though I gave it a 4, if it was based on the mastery of writing and storytelling alone, it would be a solid 5.
