The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé

5.0

Wow! I loved this.  This book speaks on homophobia and racism but our heroine,  Florence, is fighting against this. 

Florence is from Jamaica, but when her father brings her back to his home, she just doesn't quite fit in.  No amount of hair straightening can solve these overwhelming issues.  But when she does something her father deems unforgivable, she is tossed out of the house.  

She makes her way to Rose Hall to hopefully work, but winds up finding a mystery instead.  This story is full of magic and love.  Something that I will cherish.  

Out May 7, 2024!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!!!
