Welcome to Litsy!

Whoa...the ending alone is worth the price of admission! It's a beautiful story about love, loss, grief, family, loyalty, politics, & identity. It's multi-POV w/ the fates of 2 families entwined, & a compelling look at the competing priorities in the lives of British Muslims - a perspective I haven't read.

New bookshelves! #berlysbooks #wellreadblackgirl

This book is a completely deserving of all the hype. It's beautiful and heart-wrenching at the same time. This is my first read my Tayari Jones. I'll definitely be reading her backlist.

There's a lot of chatter on the internet about being #TeamXXXX. I don't know how anyone is picking sides in this love story. There's so much grey, and in that grey lies the emotional realness that gives this story power and beauty. #berlysbooks
