A multigenerational journey from the 1950s to the 1980s into the lives down-home Black folks and twin sisters Desiree and Stella Vignes who ran away from their family and community.
A community whose inhabitants are light-skinned Black's and intend to keep it that way.
A story of
race/racism ,
gender/sexual identity,
colorism,
family complexity,
classiam,
sibling rivalry...... A world that pretends to be color blind and life as a woman of color.
While i deeply enjoyed, resonates with characters and appreciated this book so damn much and everything it stands for: Stella (one of the twin) wasn't a likeable character for me at all. I find her just damn selfish and you can see the impact it eventually had on her daughter Kennedy.
A favourite character of mine was "Reese and Jude", I just wanted a separate story on them ❤️. Bennett can do no wrong.
Do i have to tell you to read this book? .
