Extremely compelling. I just loved these characters. The writing was excellent and brought out themes that were delicate and complicated and full of vibrating life. Wonderful.

The 4th star was generous, and I know its not a popular opinion. There was plenty to love about this book, and the topic of colorism is important. I just wanted more character development, historical continuity, and the first 1/3 of the book drags a bit.
