Let Us Dream by Alyssa Cole
5.0
Alyssa Cole can do no wrong. I have loved everything she has written, from present-day NYC to Civil War romantic suspense, to this beauty of a novella set in 1917 Harlem. This story is fiercely feminist with an interracial romance, and addresses so many historical touchstones. From the suffragette movement to playing the numbers to the Great Migration and much more, this novella was a great one to listen to during my month-long read of [b:The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration|8171378|The Warmth of Other Suns The Epic Story of America's Great Migration|Isabel Wilkerson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1433354252s/8171378.jpg|13341052]. It also touches on immigration from India and the discrimination that Indian immigrants faced during that time period.
If you are someone who doesn't typically read romance but want to give Alyssa Cole a try, THIS is the novella to start with. I actually listened to it on audio and it was fabulous. The narration is a bit slow, so I sped it up to 1.5x and it was perfection.
I can't wait to read / listen to the rest of the historical romance novellas by Cole - they are all now available on Audible as part of the Romance package - YAY!
