Would definitely recommend reading with a critical eye. There are racist tropes shared throughout the text, but clearly as part of the perspective of a white young woman raised by white immigrants in the early 1900s. The story is still interesting and well-written, and I enjoyed reading it immensely.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.

It was honestly too dark for me. I was also going through a death of a friend and I couldn't handle that plus this book and its heaviness.
