Okay, also, I'm realizing that the male characters... they exist in this world, but they don't actually matter to most of what's going on, it's women dealing with women about women's stories (about ghosts and gods and gangsters). It's so good.

I keep listening to the dialogue in this book and being blown away, because her parents/adult family members speak English in a consistent way that is also clearly not-American (or British, or whatever). It is "wrong", but it's also a very clear dialect with its own quirks and this is the kind of thing white writers/writers from another community simply could not emulate. Brilliant.
