Humanity has always remained steadfast in the darkest of times.
A wonderfully heartfelt review, Kimber!

Glad it resonated deeply..and its of little surprise Everett received the Pulitzer for this ground breaking story. Hopefully you've read his others

Excellent and beautifully written review, Kimber.

Fantabulous review, Kimber. 🤗💕

It is a touching tale. I'm glad to see you gave it five stars, Jonathan. This was my first book by Everett, and it won't be my last.😊

Glad to hear that..he's one of very few authors that defies genre categorization and is willing to risk inserting himself as a character (I am Not Sidney Poitier). Able to write mystery, humor and stories like this shows he's in a class of his own. If you're open to other unusual stories, make sure to read Brian Doyle, though he's nothing like Everett

Wonderful review, Kimber! 📕📖

That’s a beautiful review Kimber! 💞

Oh dear, this does sound brutal. I have just finished Beloved which is set a little after this one, but even though it's harrowing, it's important to read about this dark period of history. Great review Kimber - I think I will read this one soon, thanks for the reminder 🤗🎈🦘

Wonderful review Kimber! So glad that you loved it too!💕

Terrific words to describe this novel Kimber. Your last paragraph - perfect!

Thank you so much, Ron! It was a touching story and very well written. I'm glad you enjoyed it as well!😊

A fine review, Kimber! It's on my WTR shelf, but I am a bit on the fence - unsure if it's a book for me, or not.

Beautifully said, Kimber! I recently read James and loved it just as much. Your review captured the emotional weight so well. When I finished it, I kept thinking that sometimes, to change a story, you don't need to rewrite the events - you just need to listen to who is actually speaking. Everett truly gives Jim his own voice, fears and courage back, and it's brilliant! ❤️

I just could not get into this story, but I am so happy that you loved it, Kimber.

Stunning review Kimber, and so beautifully stated. Sometimes reading books of historical fiction gives readers the opportunity to truly reflect on how much progress have we made today? Chilling, right? Thank you! ☺️

Thank you very much, Pia! I agree that Everett brought James to life in a profound and meaningful way. His writing is truly cinematic! I'm glad this was a winner for you as well!😊
