Bennett definitely knows her words. I thought the bias against skin tone was fascinating. As white, it doesn’t seem to come into play, but in my reading of Asian novels I’ve learned it’s prevalent there as well. So many ways to hate…

I think you will. For me the variety of characters was more touching and highlighted some really different issues facing POC.

I’m glad you liked The Vanishing Half. I did like The Mothers, but liked this one even more.

I look forward to reading it. I liked The Mothers … but I sort of wonder if I might like this one more once I get to it. Just all the issues …

I thought this was a wonderful book. And I did NOT like The Mothers.
