A review by narniaru
Feral, North Carolina, 1965 by June Sylvester Saraceno

5.0

It is not often that I will fight severe sleep deprived fatigue to just read a few more words but for this beautiful novel that was definitely the case. Each chapter is both a short story and a little glimpse into a little girl's life in the North Carolina in 1965. Both the location and the time affect Willie but so many things still resonate today like the relationship we her brother and how girls are expected to act. Underscoring that we have her trying to understand how she feels about religion and race and not simply to follow in the footsteps of the grown-ups around her. I'm truly sad the book had to end.
