Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward

4.0

---

Few books have been able to affect me like "Sing, Unburied, Sing" ("A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry was the last one). As a reader, you are pulled into this other world where you otherwise would never wish to go, a world filled with abuse, death, drugs, illness, poverty and racial divide. Fortunately, family and love give glimpses of hope, intensifying the struggle of each character. Every chapter is narrated in first-person by a rotating cast, each with their own vices, desires, motivation and logic. Although sometimes hard to read, it is highly readable, as only Jesmyn Ward can so masterfully do.

I received an ARC of this book, but the opinions and review above are honest and mine alone.
