Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward
4.0

This was not an easy read. I had to persevere through the end to get it done. As beautiful as the writing is, the subject matter is intense and very descriptive in the feelings of all the characters involved- from a loving relationship between a mother and daughter to violent and hateful relationships of the enslavers and the enslaved people. This one is not for everyone but it also deserves the attention it’s getting for some of the best storytelling of the year.
