Wow is all that all I have to say. I was a big fan of Transcendent Kingdom, so I decided to pick this up as it has been on my TBR for a while and OMG. Man, this moved me. You follow generations and two different storylines times from the period of the transatlantic slave trade to now. While this sounds complicated, it was done so beautifully. It really shows how we can feel generational trauma today in unexpected ways. I absolutely loved this.
