A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines
4.0

Gut wrenching. I was still very delusional hoping for a different ending even after seeing the book title and even after knowing how the whites didn't spare black people ever. The build up was slow - understandably coz all parties had to get accustomed to the inevitable. Would have wanted an in depth view of Jefferson's change of heart. Good book that will rouse a lot of anger
