Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin
4.5
I’ve been in a big reading slump this April! And I don’t think it actually had to do with this book.
I preferred Giovanni’s Room for sure, but Baldwin is great and I see the importance of this one for him and in making sense of his family story. Really interesting perspective exercise going on here with the flashbacks from the POVs of the adult family members.
I wish I had gotten a more continuous reading experience with this one, and maybe will pick it up again at some point to try to do that.
