thejeffreyhv 's review for:

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
5.0

This hard exploration of family, death, drugs, and belonging is a must-read and completely phenomenal. With breathtaking prose like poetry, the narrative is richly voice- and character-driven but easy to lose the plot if you are not focused. I loved this book with all my soul and would read it again in a heartbeat.

Also, I listened to the audiobook and need to add that the performances were stellar: particularly of Leonie, the female narrator. Her voice was so wretched at times it scratched at my bones.
