I’ve read news articles and history book chapters about the Tulsa Massacre, but I had never experienced a historical novel set in Greenwood during that time. I’m so glad I picked up this thoughtfully researched and beautifully written book.
Told through the dual POVs of sisters Margaret and Evelyn Justice, the story follows Margaret, a recent college graduate, and Evelyn, a high school senior. Because of their ages, the book leans more toward new adult/young adult fiction. The author does an incredible job capturing the devastation, anger, and even small moments of joy that the residents of Greenwood experienced.
The audiobook narrator was absolutely phenomenal and made the story even more immersive.
A powerful and emotional read that will stay with me for a long time.
