I am black English, with hair trigger sensitivity to dog whistles and microaggressions and this slander put me off reading it at first, even though I loved her recemt fairytales. When took the plunge, I didn't just enjoy this book, I guzzled it then re-read it over again. I loved its voice, and its global cast and social insights. I've had lots of natural hairstyles including dreads. Was delighted to read a back character who had them too. (less)
