Not a book I felt particularly qualified to review - as a white Irish woman, I can never understand or experience what happens in this book. An insightful novel, the characters really show the impact of the racist justice system in America on those wrongfully imprisoned, and on their loved ones on the outside. Very powerful book. Not giving this a star rating as I don't think that's appropriate here.
