First, let me start of by saying that this book is very heavy, obviously, as we are reading about Annis who the daughter of an enslaved woman and fathered by their white owner. The writing, although describing and absolutely brutal life, is incredibly beautiful and almost poetically visual during times of Annis’ story.
The magical realism in the story was not something that I was expecting and I feel like maybe there is some sort of symbolism that I am missing out on, but it is a read that makes you feel deep in your soul for every person who has been mistreated at the hands of another.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and Netgally for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review.
