4.0

Beautifully written, thoughtful prose. Ultimately, it was too triggering for me to read about a sibling (intentionally or not) causing immense hurt, depression and suicidal thoughts, so I couldn't fully engage with this book as much as I would have liked to. I look forward to more from Yaa Gyasi.
