A diversion from my typical genre, but I enjoyed it more than I expected. Beautiful prose, and a captivating story of two women as they experience very different but intertwined lives. Loved that it wasn’t a white savior story and didn’t shy away from hard aspects of enslaved life through Handful’s perspective.
