Thank you! I have no idea how this one slipped by me. I loved her second book When She Woke. She really has a talent for topical subjects. This one felt all too real these days.

I think you’ll like it, but it’s hard reading. Hard as in sad and difficult. I still can’t believe it was a debut!

It was a favorite several years ago and I’ve held on to my copy ever since. Could be time for a reread…

PS – just went to Goodreads to add this and the list of bloggers I trust who have rated this 5 stars is pretty long! Must make time, must make time…

Plus, I love my Southern fiction.

It wasn’t too long after reading this that I read Attica Locke’s debut novel, Black Water Rising and I also loved it!

It was a favorite a few years back, and I’m thrilled that you loved it too. It’s one of those I’ll consistently shout from the rooftops.

I think you’re exactly right- not much as changed, just the means by which racism works now.

Your review has convinced me to pick it up and read it next.
