The Air Between Us
The Air Between Us: A Novel | Deborah Johnson
6 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Revere, Mississippi, with its population of "20,000 and sinking" is not unlike most Southern towns in the sixties. Black people live on one side of town and whites live on the other. The two rarely mix, or so everyone believes. But the truth is brought to the forefront when Billy Ray Puckett, a white man wounded while hunting, shows up at the segregated Doctors Hospital. No one thinks much of his deathjust a typical hunting accidentuntil the sheriff orders an investigation. Suddenly the connections between whites and blacks are revealed to be deeper than anyone expected, which makes the town's struggle with integration that much more complicated. Dr. Cooper Connelly, who hails from a prominent white family, takes an unexpectedly progressive view toward school integration; while the esteemed Dr. Reese Jackson, so prominent he has garnered an Ebony profile, tries to stay above the fray. With fully realized characters and a mystery that will keep readers turning pages until the end, The Air Between Us is a heart-filled, endearing tale.

Mehso-so

This was a book that I really wanted to like, but found it so-so. A lot of character development that didn't go anywhere and a mystery that seemed second to the development.

With that said, there were moments that I enjoyed, I just wish there were less gotch-ya moments with cliff hangers. After a while, it just started to make the book predictable for me.

I honestly can't say that I can recommend this book to people who like mystery books because I am still wondering myself what exactly the mystery was. 🤔

RamsFan1963 Finishing up Canto Bight and still reading Damnation Island, about the way the poor, insane and criminal were treated in 19th century New York. I can't decide if I'll go to letter D in #LitsyAtoZ or break to something else I've been waiting to read. 5y

BeansPage @MaleficentBookDragon that's great to hear. I know you and I have pretty much the same taste in books so I'm always curious to know what you think of the books that you read. And that one was one of the big ones that I was wondering if I should check out or not. 5y

Flew through it! I enjoyed this - not my usual fare. I liked the setup a bit more than the ending but it definitely kept me on my toes. Thanks for the read, @Julie548 ! I‘ll be sending it off to @TheReadingMermaid next week most likely... hoping to polish off @WriterAtHeart ‘s pick before I do! #LMPBC 📝😍🤗 #GroupO
