Wow. Socks knocked off farther than the first book I read from Alice Walker. A magnifying glass on liberated sexuality and pleasure, grief, inner child trauma, CULTURE and so much more - Alice Walker is truly a child of the world. Following a black family of anthropologists who journey to observe and live among the indigenous Mundos we follow the father, Mr. Robinson, from his perspective as a ghost. The after life is truly what you believe it will be. Enough with the woke politics and fear of offense - connect with people. Learn. Embarrass yourself. Respect the cultures and customs of which are foreign and especially older than you.
