Darktown

It’s hard to truly love a book that’s full of racism and bigotry, but that’s the point of this story, isn’t it? The author does well with portraying the language and societal hardships of the time. That being said, sometimes the plot suffers and characters lack depth due to this atmospheric focus. Overall this book still has quite a story to tell. I would recommend it, but note that it can be slow at times.
