Holy crud. This book contains subject matter that is at least as difficult to read as you think it is. It is also beautifully written. It is lyrical and tragic, and I actually truly loved the characters. The multiple points of view can be unnecessary, but I didn't mind it; it reminded me of the middle episodes of Lovecraft Country, the show, each focusing on primarily the women. I appreciated the perspectives of the characters that lead to the end.
There isn't much plot, so don't go looking for it. It's all about the concepts and the tragedy of the characters, and the strength of the women. And the consequences of our actions.
On top of the obvious themes of racism, Christian supremacy, homophobia, and love.
I had many feelings at the end. And I want go bundle Isaiah in a big blanket and give him a hug.
