Like Death, I too am haunted by humans. This gave me new eyes for a war already taught to me. While I expected the heavy racism, I hadn’t quite expected to be bathed in classism and sexism the way I was. It was impossible to ignore.
The amount of love found in these pages made me want to lie in a shallow creek and have the water wash over me. She loved her people so deeply and so well one can only aspire to be like her.
I skipped reading this in high school and I’m finding myself grateful. My young heart wouldn’t have received this as well as my grown one does now. My heart shattered and was molded together several times over.
