5.0
A profound book that manages to be gut-wretching and beautiful at the same time. While Ward is in a class of her own, fans of Gabriel García Márquez and Toni Morrison will find a home in her work.
Graphic: Death, Hate crime, Slavery, Violence, Murder, and Abandonment
Moderate: Addiction, Body horror, and Child abuse
