This book didn‘t grab me the way I thought it would. It is well written, with good character development, and does an excellent job of exploring the themes of family dynamics, sibling rivalry and parenting styles. The family relationships are depicted realistically, and there is plenty of food for thought and discussion in the scenes depicted. But I just couldn‘t connect with any of the adult characters, ⬇️

julieclair and that left me feeling disconnected with the book. A good book, but maybe just not the right timing/season for me. #ReadOrDonate #ReadAway2024 #JumpStart2024 #ReadYourTBR #ISpy2024 #BookSpin 10mo

The Underground Railroad | Colson Whitehead

A genre-defying, time-condensing novel that uses the symbol of the Underground Railroad as a framework for the often horrific experiences of enslaved Black Americans. A deeply unsettling and effective book, and an important read.
