heartbreaking

I didn’t actually read the book but listened to it on my iPod. In any case, this is an amazing piece of literature. I laughed and cried, cringed and reveled. It is one of those books that is gripping and engaging and forces the reader (listener) to look within and address serious issues about humanity, self, and our interactions with others.

It is not a long book but it tackles serious issues like racism, classism, sexism, rape, adoption, and family structure.

If you haven’t read it, I urge you to do so. I was swept away. At moments, I didn’t want to go any further. It was that painful. But I think, in the end, it is worth it.
