For Lamb by Lesa Cline-Ransome
5.0
4.5 rounded to 5 stars
Wow, I was not expecting this ending. The deep story of a young Black girl named Lamb living in the South who befriends a proper, rich white girl named Marnie, which ends up going horribly wrong when Marnie’s older brother George crosses the line with Lamb. An innocent family member pays the ultimate price.
Although this is a work of fiction, it is most definitely based on true events.
Trigger warnings: Sexual abuse/assault, molestation, lynching, death, racism, classism, crude language, etc.
Folks who enjoy reading historical fiction, especially of Black culture and life, and can handle a little heaviness near the end, would really enjoy this book.
(I received this audiobook ALC via NetGalley in return for an honest review. Thank you.)
