kaitlphere 's review for:
Sing, Unburied, Sing
by Jesmyn Ward
A story about generational trauma and parents and children trying to understand one another, with a bit of magical realism thrown in.
While I liked the themes of this book, I found the events that take place almost all uncomfortable to read, with very few more neutral or nice scenes to balance them out. I would have liked more moments where Leonie and JoJo do manage to understand each other, or moments between Kayla and JoJo without an argument happening around them.
This is a rich story, but definitely not a comfortable read. I feel like I would have enjoyed the book more if I had been more prepared for that going in.
