The creation of characters in this book is sublime. I will miss Tookie so much! The story has great breadth - books, identity, systemic racism, poverty, drug addiction, incarceration, Covid, BLM protests of 2020, ghosts, trauma  … books again - but it is the characters that hold all this together and propel you forward. Highly recommend!
