Crossing the Mangrove by Maryse Condé

3.0

Feeling sad I didn't connect enough to this but 3 stars because Maryse makes me want to steal her damn smooth writing style. This 200-something book read too much like a dense family saga. Too early on, I lost count of the characters and felt myself flicking to the front of the book every chapter or so, excepting a cruel, fully-armed family tree to show itself. I don't like hard work. Let me be a little passive when I read, please
