Confessions in B-Flat by Donna Hill
3.0
Confessions in B-Flat by Donna Hill follows Anita Hopkins, a believer of Malcolm X's ideology and an aspiring poet, as she falls and Jason Tanner, a follower of Martin Luther Jr.'s non-violence methodology. This story is an emotional love story set against the powerful backdrop of the civil rights movement in New York City in the 1960's. This historic novel is based on the author's own personal experience of growing up during this time period in New York.
This book was a super emotional as well as very educational. I absolutely adored learning more about the contrasting beliefs of Malcolm X's ideology in contrast with the ideology of Martin Luther King Jr. I also loved the mixed media in this novel and thought that the pictures and radio snippets really helped make me feel immersed in the novel. The themes of this novel are unfortunately still very pertinent to today's current political climate and very important to read about. Overall, I would highly recommend this to people who love realistic historical romances.
I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
