I did not expect this classic to turn into a page-turner, but I found myself intrigued from the very beginning and there's a lot of tension running throughout this short book!

If you found the themes of Brit Bennett's The Vanishing Half interesting , then this is definitely one for you. There's lots to unpack and discuss, and I recommend episode 200 of The Stacks Pod if you'd like to delve deeper!

A great book to read in a day, that'll leave a lasting impact.
