This was a great magical realism tinged look at the Klan and the history of racism in America. The real strength of this book is how it talks about and how the MC is able to take ownership of their pain and loss. The topic is undeniably heavy but the way the story is told is engaging and has some humor to it.
I listened on audio and enjoyed the different voices and tones the narrator uses.
