Sing, Unburied, Sing - Jesmyn Ward 4.5/5

[Nicole D.]

I don't know what to say about this book. It was harsh and sad, but then there was Jojo though a victim of the harshness and sadness, he was the embodiment of love.

Reminded me of Beloved.

This is one of the rare books that I did not review. I had no idea how to review it. I still don’t.

[Susie]

It has stayed strongly in my mind.

Do you guys think it would be a good F2F bookclub pick. It’s my turn next to pick, and this was on my short-list.

Glad to know that, I had no idea what to say.

Not sure, JoLene, seems like people have a hard time talking about it. But there are some interesting things to discuss.

Wow. I need to find a way to get to this, magical realism or not, just to know what everyone is talking about!

[Susie]

Anita, I think for this one you might find the magical realism ok. Fingers crossed!

I own the book but am afraid to read it. Given all the varied comments I have read on Goodreads, I am not sure how I will react to the story. Plus, I often don't do well with magical realism.

I felt it was more of a ghost story, and the ghost was symbolic. It’s really hard to explain without spoilers... Regardless, it is a wonderful book!
