susieseeker 's review for:
The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois
by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers
Finally giving up on The Love Songs of W.E.B. DuBois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers. It's an 800 page, multi-generational family saga set in the U.S. The extended family is black and mixed race.
I got to the 50% point where they are talking about sororities and fraternities, which are a quintessentially U.S. phenomena. Yes, we have them in Canada, but they don't play nearly as significant a role in society.
And it was at that point that I gave up. I looked at the fact that I still had another 50% to go and realized I just didn't care. I was tired of reading about all of them.
