For Lamb by Lesa Cline-Ransome
2.75
dark emotional sad slow-paced
I’m so glad I’m finally finished with this book I almost DNF’d this several times. For starters The plot of the story really doesn’t start until page 100. I was under the impression that this novel would deal more a lot with segregation then it did. Don’t get me wrong it does touch on it here and there throughout the story along with lynching which Is the big thing at the end within the last 30 pages. I felt like the majority of the story was the internal struggles of family members that didn’t have anything to do with race or segregation. Her mother reflects back on her childhood but not really on the childhood enough with the details of segregation and such overall I think a short novel around 100 pages would do a much better job at all of this as there’s just too much fluff. The message is hard to get  until you get the end of the book and then you read the authors note.
