The Antidote
by Karen Russell
challenging

A slow start, but it’s well worth the warm up once you become attached to each character’s story and how they all connect. An honest account of this country’s dark history with colonialism, whitewashing, and the myth of meritocracy. I loved how this was balanced with some magical realism to maintain the escape and speculation that fiction can provide.
