booksnooksandcooks 's review for:
Sing, Unburied, Sing
by Jesmyn Ward
dark
reflective
sad
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Definitely a book I could re-read and pull out parts of the text I never studied before and it could change the whole book.
Beautifully written and the magical realism is both transformative and also bone-chilling. I struggled a bit with the characters and development, but Ward presents the family in such a heart breaking way that the reader weeps alongside them.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to read magical realism.
