Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson

3.75

adventurous hopeful informative inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was enjoyable to read, with confident prose. I liked learning more about pottery made using enslaved labor in the American south and loved exploring the ties between family members across generations. Unfortunately, I felt the climax was oddly paced and thus lacked some of the catharsis it could have captured.
