I usually love this kind of historical fiction/timeline switching/multiple POV parallelism, but this one didn't totally click for me. Some of the POV choices were a bit confusing, with some characters only having only one or two chapters.
I think the core of this book was quite effective at examining themes of racism in America's past and present, so it could be worth the read for that.
