While a work of fiction, the historical foundation was strong and provided insights and POVs I never considered before or had the knowledge of. The authors ability to connect to the readers was engaging and thought provoking. I also appreciate the authors ending notes and nod to minorities and their experiences as well as calls to action and resources.
