MY THOUGHTS: This is my book clubs choice of May. I had not read any books by this author before. But I will be reading more of his work. This was a really awesome book. Loved reading about all the people, their families and their way of life.
[Edward P. Jones has woven a footnote of history into an epic that takes an unflinching look at slavery in all of its moral complexities.] I give this book 5.....
This for the letter K for The Alphabet Soup Challenge.
