This is a beautiful book. The descriptions are vivid and artistically painted. The characters have a complex depth that develops throughout the story. The race relations of the 60s and 80s are so painful, as our history actually is, and you hurt with the people as their story unfolds. There is hope and growth but also many challenging dark moments. I expect I will be thinking about this one for a long time.
