Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
4.5
challenging dark tense medium-paced
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Whew, took me a while to get through this. Dystopian fiction is not my jam, nor is theology. Despite those factors and how incredibly dark and realistic Butler’s vision of the future is, I’m so glad I read it.
