Comments
Finished the book this morning. After a slow start I was finally pulled into the characters midway and found the book timely and important for our time.
I AGREE, IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO GET ‘INTO IT’, MY SPOT WAS WHEN TOOKIE FELL IN LOVE WITH HETTA’S BABY, JARVIS, I GOT TOOKIE’S LOVING REACTION IMMEDIATELY. HAD A HARD TIME WITH THE ‘GHOST’ PARTS, BUT BOTH THE COVID AND GEORGE FLOYD SCENES REALLY BROUGHT OUT THE TEARS AND REMINDERS OF VERY UNFATHOMABLE TIMES.
I agree. It took me a while to get in the groove of the book. I am looking forward to our discussion next week.
