What a beautiful story: captivating, at times sad and heartbreaking, at times hilarious, always thoughtful and honest. The characters are rich in complexity, marked by childhood trauma which affected ever area of their lives.

For me it was the masterful storytelling, the humanity of the characters whom I developed a love for. My favourite part was getting to know Booker and understanding his knee jerk reaction to Bride. Another favourite part was the metamorphosis of Bride and what it revealed the impact of her broken relationship. Masterful executed in deed. I highly recommend this book and will certain re-listen to it again or read the hard copy!!! It was THAT GOOD!

Excellent listen!

Although I do not agree with the understanding of the History of Christianity ( it is not a white man religion, but rather another exemple of cultural appropriation for oppression as Christianity is an Eastern religion from the Middle East) agree with most of the arguments of Mr. Baldwin that race is a political construct, that white supremacy is the sign of inferiority complex and a manifestation of self-hate and self ignorance, meaning that in order to live and accept himself, the white supremacist must debase the black person. Truly a sad state and I can only play for self love and acceptance of such individuals, to be set free from such a miserable state of mind. Ultimately we are all God’s children and made in his image. Only by truly embracing that truth shall we live together in love, harmony and acceptance, first of self and then of others.
One can dream! And like Baldwin concludes, black history has shown the impossible to be possible!
Peace 🫶🏾
