5.0
I believe this is my first 5 / 5 of the year, and it is so well deserved.
It took me quite a bit of time to finish it because it was just so good, I wanted to take my time.
Memphis is about 3 generations of women of the North Family, based in - you guessed it - Memphis, Tennessee.
In this book you embark on a journey full of time-travel, immersing yourself in pivotal memories that resonate with triumphs, pride, anger, hurt, and love. A poignant portrayal of family, it serves as a compelling lesson on womanhood, discrimination, racism, and community.
The characters are brilliant, the scenery is so colorful and vivid it’s imprinted in my head. It’s a book full of life, and full of soul. It evoked a range of emotions, and worked my imagination in a way I hadn’t in a long time!
Thank you Tara for your writing skills, and for putting this book out!
PS: I don’t know if there is a movie made but they need to make one, please and thanks. Ok bye!
