What a little gem of a novella. Amir and Bertha were such a lovely couple, with Bertha being all prickly and no-nonsense as a business owner and Amir being a good old socialist fighting America's forever shit immigration laws. And their romance was sweet and lovely to read, but then Cole's romances always are. I don't think I've read/watched any other piece of media that focuses on suffragists like this--the importance of the vote in the lives of Black women, poor women, and sex workers--rather than just on already privileged white women. More of this please.
