A great book with a unique premise. The audiobook was beautifully narrated and produced. The author skillfully weaves together an engaging story and aspects of the Black experience. At times, the writing gave me goosebumps, especially when he describes musical pieces... just beautiful. Other times, the author (along with the narrator) gave me a feeling of palpable anxiety... heart racing, palms sweaty. The narrator voices multiple characters and accents really well. I was extremely impressed with the way he shifts from a young female voice to an older male voice, and back again, while reading a piece of writing one of the characters has written.
Graphic: Violence and Torture
Moderate: Slavery
