An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
5.0
WOW. All the feels.
A thorough examination into the complexities of human relationships and the lasting, ever-rippling effects of racial prejudice and heartbreaking, seemingly inescapable injustice. This book provoked a huge amount of empathy from me: I felt hugely protective of each of the characters, even at their most unlikable. The writing is raw, intimate and beautiful. This is character-driven drama at its best.
