The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta

5.0

I really love novel in verse. This was incredibly enlightening. I often think about the fact people should be educating themselves about differing ways of life without requiring someone to teach it to them. This book is the epitome of that statement. While you can never truly understand someone else's life or experience, reading a book like this one provides a glimpse into it. Empathy truly comes from finding connection in this kind of literature.
