Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
3.5
Ouch. This book hurt to read.
I just... where's the child neglect content warning? I'll just lump it under child abuse. Yeeks.
Was it beautifully written? 100%
Did I think it was a beautifully crafted novel? Definitely.
Would I ever recommend it to anyone else? Probably not.
I'm gonna go journal. Or do some inner-child work. Or... something.
Ow.
⚠️ PS: the police brutality CW below has to do with slavery-like conditions and punishments (whipping, for example) in a prison. That was the best CW I had for it.
