Those Bones Are Not My Child by Toni Cade Bambara

3.0

This is a woolly mammoth of a novel! Learnt a lot about the Atlanta child murders of the 80s (which I had never heard about before?!) and found the story of the Spencer family a compelling and devastating way to explore the wider socio-political tensions of the time. Unfortunately at 669 pages this was just Too Long™️ for me to fully enjoy, lots of characters introduced in the middle portion that made it hard to follow at times.Very glad that I persevered!
