To read the author endorsements on the back cover you'd think this was a masterpiece. The minim list storytelling is artful and intriguing. The tale of generational trauma is OK? Aisha is great and I like how other characters are brought to life with little page space showing considerable sophistication.
I'm a little underwhelmed: the pieces are all there but I didn't feel it...
