Typo run-on

Oooooooooh so we’re dealing with a shapeshifter type of thing…??????? This is good so far

Is 1965, Jude was 41
In 1978, Jude is 54

Ok is that supposed to say “sighs” or “signs”? The former makes sense considering the flowery writing style, but logistically the latter makes more sense

1. I love that the house accepts her, along with the haints
2. The aspects of southern culture, and particularly southern Black culture, are reaaaaaaally hitting home. Specifically, the culture around discipline and respect

That whole top paragraph? Fck me dude I just wanna give her a hug

“Face down, arms pimples with gooseflesh, her chest tight and hot, Jude buried her face in the dirt and sobbed. Oh, how long it’d been since she’d cried!”
Oooooh idk why, but that got me. Some tears came out from that one wow

“…and anyway, didn’t she say not to be alone with Pappy?”
Holy shit or was it her grandfather?

I’m calling it: I think that their dad raped Ernestine, and Judith is the baby that resulted from that assault.
It would explain as to why Vivian thought she was born evil, and why Ernestine seemed to hate her so much. And there seems to be a hole around what the sisters’ dad did besides beating them when they were kids.
