For Lamb was an intense journey of Lamb and and their family as they traverse living in Mississippi during the era of segregation. I was amazed at how the author wove together the stories of the time as well as used actual individuals to give a way to attempt telling their stories that have been lost to time.
I think this an important work for people to read because of the historical context. The writing style was also done so well.
In terms of the audio book, I loved the aspect of not only the multi POVs, but the fact that multiple voice actors were used to tell the story. It really helped to fully immerse myself when listening.
High recommend.
