This intergenerational 'biomythography' was stunningly written, if exhausting to read. But that, I think, is the point. I love the idea of fictionalizing family history, of telling the stories of our semi-recent ancestors. People we will never know but their stories reverberate down the generations.
This is an incredible testimony to the Black experience. A strong, honest, sometimes humorous Own Voice.
I was granted access to this audiobook as an Audies Judge in the "Multi-Voiced Performance" category.
