Ｒｅｃｏｍｍｅｎｄｅｄ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪᴋᴇ:
Southern Black family dynamics and history explained through the stories of three generations of women rooted in Memphis.
ꜱᴘᴏɪʟᴇʀ-ꜰʀᴇᴇ Ｒａｍｂｌｅｓ 💭
This book was so lovely. My favorite part was how the different generations of women were portrayed and how their life circumstances were explained. The accuracy and rawness of the traumas and life experiences depicted was heartbreakingly beautiful. I will say, some parts were hard to get through 🥺 and the interwoven stories really gave the book a family feel and strengthened the interconnectedness of the characters. The beginning was a bit confusing for me but after I got past that, it’s beautifully written and just keeps you wanting to know more.
