I really really like this book. The writing is really good and the story is hooking. A lot of the conversations reveal things about the characters and underlying issues indirectly. Although there isn't much action, the characters make it interesting. The book just touches on major issues like racism, American dream, family conflict, family history/remembering, and slavery really well.
