No
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
The book does a lot of world-building and gives a lot of background for how the main character ended up in her current life. There were eye-opening passages. I reflected on how Pecola’s father’s upbringing impacted his parenting and how different his thinking was from how I would imagine going on to parent my children if I had the life he lived.
