This book is a great read, especially the last half as we get deeper into the lore and complexities of connections/relationships. The perspective from a black woman as a main character is so needed in this space! There is a lot to explore in terms of legacy and how it intertwines with personhood, family, duty, and grief. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it does start off slow and I was confused by the many characters and kept getting them mixed up, but overall I would highly recommend!
Graphic: Grief, Death, Death of parent, Racism, and Violence
Moderate: Classism and War
