I feel as if I know them on a personal level and while men are given a voice in this story, it mainly focuses on the women. While the story jumps in time, we are given such deep connections to each of the women in this story. At a deeper level it’s about racial inequality, gender identity, socio-economic inequality, sexism, and a coming of age story for two generations of women. At a surface level this book is about family dynamics and how blood connects us. The journey that Brit Bennett takes us through is bigger than just the story of the Vignes Twins. I can’t even do this book justice in walking you through the summary. Not because of the content but instead based on the structure it’s written in and the well woven story lines that while separate, all fit seamlessly together. Also have you seen this beautiful cover?!īroken up into 5 parts and told through various perspective this book gives me The Hearts Invisible Furies vibes. It’s beautifully written and completely captivating. Genre: Literary Fiction, Race, Historical Fiction Expected Publication: Jby Riverhead Books
