The Little Friend by Donna Tartt

Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.
After reading the 'secret history', I was eager to continue Donna Tartts discography with 'the little friend'. I had owned the book for a couple of months but not read it so decided to listen to it as an audiobook, which I'm glad I did because there was no way I would have gotten this far into the book. The audiobook is about 24hr and 30mins, and I managed to get 11hr and 30mins into it. If you want a mystery story, this is not it. This book is more about the day to day living during a time of racial contention, where we see how black people are living within this town and about the life of Harriet the main character as she tries to ask questions about her brothers murder to people who don't want to talk about it, and living with her mother who has developed mental illness due to her distress.
