15 Modern Books by Black Women (Part 1)

as i said the writing style is a bit weird and clunky but the content and context and story really carries it forward

this is one of the smartest books that i've ever read and it's also written in a very literary style in these tiny little vignettes

i love lustre it's charming it's funny it's poignant there are some really hard hitting moments about racial diversity in 21st century america it's topical while also just being a very engaging and lovely story

it's fascinating of course it's about racism of course it's about the lives of black british women in the 19th century but it's also a really beautiful and engaging piece of historical fiction it's a fantastic mystery story that gets unwoven bit by bit

the vanishing half has really stuck with me right up until today months after i read it i really loved this book

it is utterly and beautifully written there is nothing like it transcending kingdom deserves all the hype that it's getting it's one of the best books of this year don't miss it

washington black is a lot of fun it's written by canadian author essie adujan and i loved every single page of washington black
