Very exciting and interesting to read alongside McKittrick. Massively impressive tour through history and trauma and inheritance and identity. I'd love to see follow up stories zooming in on a specific character or two. So much room for expanding.

A lot of reviews note this but this book would be PERFECT to teach in high school - so many jumping off points to engage with history and it's (mis)telling.
