The Atlas of Reds and Blues by Devi S. Laskar
5.0
The Atlas of Reds and Blues begins with a woman bleeding to death on her driveway, shot by the police. Her life flashes before her eyes and it's these flashes that the novel follows.
.
The narrative is urgent and jumpy, moving through time in a non-linear fashion to reveal Mother's journey to this point. It's a life full of micro-aggresions and racism which reflects how little has changed in America and the terrible consequences there can be when people stand up for themselves.
.
I loved the writing style and could easily have read the whole book in one sitting. I definitely recommend that everyone grab a copy of this one when it's released on the 6th June.

Thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy for review.
