Anywhere You Run by Wanda M. Morris
4.0
4.5 stars.
Two Black sisters in trouble in the 1964 deep South--what could be more terrifying than that? Wanda M. Morris creates plenty of suspense and builds her story with skill leading to a satisfying climax. Perhaps too satisfying, since it is hard to believe that the denouement will not return danger to the sisters' doorstep in the near future.
The world Marigold and Violet live in is the scariest element of all, as angry southern whites seek revenge for the overthrow of Jim Crow. Morris creates this world with a sure hand.
"Anywhere You Run" is frightening on so many levels. The finale is a little too much, especially considering the Wanda Morris' nuanced handling of the rest of the novel. But this book is good, and not to bemissed.
