This was so deep and hard and sad. It’s just a realistic look at the horrors of slavery combined with what might have been. It was hard to be in this headspace for too long, but it’s definitely beautifully written

While the overall plot was very good and Annis was such a great character, there were many parts that were very confusing and hard to follow.

I really loved the metaphysical in this book - that Annis was always speaking to her mother’s spirit or the more god-like spirit. And her mother’s words were always in her head guiding her. It was an awful story full of love.
