The book is very informative, I learnt so much about the Pack Horse Library and blue people.
So many traumatic things happen at breakneck speed, it's incredibly emotionally affecting.
The audiobook narrator Katie Schoor was outstanding.
The writing style isn't very poetic and feels unsophisticated, it makes sense because the story is told in Cussy Mary's voice but it sometimes grated.
The plot is repetitive;
There was some oppression olympics saying anti-blue sentiment was worse than racism which was really unnecessary.
I would recommend this book as I learnt a lot from it and I enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions it put me through.
