This was so good I may have to re-read this one!
Wow!
A thriller of a novel by Attica Locke that uses every tool at her disposal to keep you in suspense, make you question the motives of characters, delve deep within your mind to unlock the possibilities.
Heaven, My Home is the 2nd book to Bluebird Bluebird which I've not read but I know Mr. Barack Obama loved and so I just ordered it on hold at our local library.
There was so much that I loved about this one even after not having read the 1st as the characters were so alive and well and the slang used made me feel as though I was there in 1865 and beyond.
It's set with that down south deep feel for the bayous and the battles that occurred over the land ownership utilizing the Homestead Act during the black migration.
This book is captivating beyond measure with snitches and biotches but also with characters that are vivid and strong.
Rather than give the details away and spoil it I hope you have a chance to grab a copy and enjoy as the ending was equally as powerful as the start.
Attica Locke is a young woman I admire and I can't wait to read her future work.
