The Travelers is a multi-generational story centred on two families - one Black, one white. Over the years there is a sprawling cast of characters, interconnected in a variety of ways. There’s not exactly a linear plot; more a set a vignettes or short stories focussing on key moments that jump back and forward in time. Plenty of meaty material - issues of race, gender and sexuality, domestic abuse, class factors, PTSD, and so much more. And yet it never fully came together in a satisfying whole for me.
