This book is incredible. I can’t believe it took me this long to read it!! The writing is some of the most incredible poetic prose I’ve ever read.
One warning: its an old book and theres is occasionally some not so great language. Specifically language that is racist comes up a few times.
Also this book has a ton of trigger warnings! Don’t read it if you’re not in a good place.
