A moving tale captured through three distinct perspective across generations that holds such a unique space in the lit fiction category. I really enjoyed how the themes of race and single parenthood were looked at in a way that felt real rather than just an observation of them.

Evelyn and Kingsley had such a heartwarming relationship and Evelyn was definitely my fave female that we meet. I loved how generous parents they were to Antony. There is a lot of tragedy in their timeline but there was also warmth and such a strong sense of community which I liked. I found the momentum and pacing overall a little too slow for my liking. Also it felt a bit difficult to initially get into the book whilst all the storylines were being set up.

I did find this book eye opening and gave such a fresh perspective, but the pacing let this one down for me.
