I thought this story was a bit heavy-handed in its message at time, but at its core, Confessions in B-Flat is a masterful historical fiction paralleling the plight of two Black Americans—one who aligns with Malcolm X and one who aligns with Martin Luther King Jr. Despite their differences, they learn to compromise and ultimately a sweeping love story occurs that was a joy to read.
