A review by auroralovesbooks
Isaac's Song by Daniel Black

5.0

This is an emotional novel that follows a gay black man's life. It reads like a memoir and takes us through his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It highlights his complicated relationship with his parents, his sexuality, and even his community. 

Emotional is the only way I can describe this book. Absolutely emotional.

I did listen to the audiobook (slightly sped up) and really enjoyed it! 

Admittedly, I have not read the companion novel to this one, Don't Cry For Me. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything, but I also can't say whether or not reading it will affect your view of this novel. 

Thank you NetGalley and HarperAudio for the ALC. All thoughts are my own.
