I couldn’t agree more about the backstories. Edits were needed.

Yes, I did like the others better. I really think you would love Mudbound and I’d read it before the movie. I have a hard time seeing how the movie could possibly convey all the emotion in Jordan’s story. It left me broken. Twelve-Mile would have been better about 100 pages shorter!

And that the backstories went on for so long.
