diana7011 's review for:
Sing, Unburied, Sing
by Jesmyn Ward
The author gives the readers a poignant story, undoubtedly well written and fraught with intense highly emotional moments. There are several narrators to the story but the one character that stands out is JoJo, a youth who resides with his grandparents, baby sister and a drug addict mother when the work begins. As more of the story comes to light, we find JoJo trying to cope with death, parents who aren't responsible, protecting sister and uncovering the truth of his grandfather's past. With a touch of the paranormal and a dash of Voodoo we are given a read that well deserves the National Book Award for Fiction 2017. I highly recommend this novel.
