Somebody Loves You is told in sparse fragmentary vignettes. It’s a beautifully written story of Ruby’s growing up in a family impacted by racism, mental health issues and sexual assault. Ruby may be mute but she is an astute observer. A quietly compelling read.
Graphic: Rape and Mental illness
Moderate: Racism
