A blog about books and book reviews
The Love Songs of W. E. B. DuBois by Honoree Fanonne Jeffers is about growing up and about owning your history - the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly. At over 800 pages, the book takes the time to develop characters and the story of Ailey Pearl Garfield and her family across decades. In that evolution, the book seamlessly embeds history and culture. The story is at the same time deeply personal and historically global.
