Like most books on slavery, this was emotionally hard to read. But it was beautifully written, and I loved Annis and even Aza. I have hope for Annis.

4.0

An essential and uncomfortable read depicting American slavery, sprinkled with supernatural elements. The spirits were a little beyond me at times, but the concept of descending into hell to hone your weapons, wit, and power of self to ultimately ascend into true freedom (in every sense) was so beautiful!! This was my first Jesmyn Ward book and she is amazing!

this story was so poetically written, it was beautiful to read.
it wasn’t too long, the perfect time to tell the story as needed without dragging on.
annis’ story is just so tragic and you think it can’t get worse but it continues to do so.
although difficult this was a really important read; exploring a young woman’s perseverance through loss, grief and insurmountable odds, with magical realism interwoven through the pages to provide hope and guidance.
