Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward

5.0

I have been thinking about this book since I finished it. My mind has come back to it on many occasions, and I’ve had some pretty deep thoughts about it, and the things it got me thinking about. This work did a better job of helping me check the lenses through which I view history than anything else I’ve read up to this point. Beautiful, haunting, distressing, and thought provoking. Incredibly worthwhile read.
