Mr. Hartnett failed in business, and blew his brains out just like a white man. Everybody was a little proud of his suicide.
The twisted psychologies of the black aspirant class in the early 19th century on full and foul display. Steel yourself before picking up this novel.
I give the book five stars simply because of the intense emotional and physical distress it caused me. I just finished it and my stomach is still twisted in hate against Cleo.
