pickThis was an interesting look at the marks left by slavery on both slavers and the enslaved and the tangled bonds it wove between them and their descendants over time. Slow going at times, a large cast of characters to keep track of, and lots of disturbing content. However, considering the topic, not surprising either.
pickIt took me a bit to get into this novel but once I got past a hundred pages or so I flew thru it. It takes place in 1860 in Louisiana and is about the Gilbert family and their plantation. It is a YA novel but I would only recommend it to older teens and adults.
pickRita Williams-Garcia is an amazing storyteller and I‘ll always look forward to reading her work.
I've probably posted this exact same shot before but I still can't get over the gorgeous color on the underside of the 40. #audiowalk #readathon @DeweysReadathon
