Been on my TBR for ages and I'm glad I finally read it. Wonderful story and well written. I will say the mixed timelines were a bit confusing to follow in the audiobook, but I suspect that in a print copy it would be more obvious. The historical racial segregation did seem like an afterthought thrown in randomly throughout the book rather than truly integrated into the story, but it doesn't take much away from the writing.
