I loved this book. It was beautiful yet heartbreaking, full of love and full of sadness. It was so well written as well. I highly recommend, especially for white folks to better understand the black experience in the US

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

I'd call this a memoir with a purpose which is something that's right up my alley, but this one was a little difficult to keep straight. The bouncing back and forth between personal stories and memories of the men who died just for a bit confusing in audiobook form. But it was incredibly powerful and raw. Jesmyn really doesn't pull any punches in her writing.
