A review by amanda1793
If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin
I can't give this a star rating. Yet at least. I have far too many questions.
I listened to an audio version of this novel, and did enjoy the book for the most part. But what is that ending?! What happens?!
I can understand why this novel is still so important today. I can understand the significance of this book at the time of it's original publishing.
Read this book. For its importance and significance. Be mindful of the content. Be mindful of the racial issues spoke about and how the past has so clearly repeated itself in the future. I will watch the film adaptation once the book settles a little with me first.
