i don’t know what i was expecting from this book, but it definitely wasn’t this. a story of family, strength, & how slavery cannot be disconnected from the rest of our history. 

i loved the characterization of all of the characters i thought it was so well done and everyone so deeply complex & developed. i also loved the flashback in time elements & all of the newspaper clippings helped to contextualize everything so beautifully. 

i will say though that the end seemed a little rushed & less developed. it left me with so many unanswered questions and not necessarily in a good way.
