A review by dinasamimi
Sugar by Bernice L. McFadden

5.0

This really floored me. The writing is so tender in its depiction of womanhood, loss, friendship, and family in the face of pretty horrific circumstances. You're enveloped in the South of another era. McFadden really takes you there: to Arkansas, to Pearl, to Sugar and beyond. Excellent storytelling, unabashedly Black, Southern and grown. Can't wait to read part 2.
