A review by hilaryannbrown
My Monticello by Jocelyn Nicole Johnson
4.0
The thought-provoking premise: In the near future, Black descendants of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson find refuge inside Monticello when their Virginia neighborhood is set on fire and overtaken by white supremacists.
The writing is dense and feels like a labor to muddle through at times, but worth the effort. The final section of the book is exquisite.
