We liked learning about this book's topic, however, it needed someone who would be honest about how much Wingate gets wrong about the black experience during slavery.
L liked the book more than me. We both found i t hard to follow.
Braiding two seemingly unrelated stories.
Hannie was born into slavery, now a sharecropper.
Modern day story features Benny, female (white,) hi school teacher. LaJuna is one of her students.
It takes almost to the end to find out how the two stories interlace.
It was okay. As I said, L liked it. I read it more for the topic, not the writing. Wingate uses (misuses) adverbs. Sooo many.
All in all, L recommends the book. Me not so much.
