Conjure Women by Afia Atakora

2.0

Conjure Women tells the story of May Belle , Rue, and Varina in three different time periods. Focusing on the midwives and healer women on a plantation during Slavery, Freedom, and War. The story is told through varying POVs and the way it is written is whiplash inducing. We go back and forth and back and forth through different POVs and it just feels so disjointed. The book goes on and on and then there is no real climax. This wasn’t the book for me.
