Welcome to Litsy!

This was a lovely read, although a bit confusing at times. A women is taken from Africa to the Caribbean Island of Martinique, as a slave on a sugar plantation. She births two children and so the family saga begins. This book crosses many continents and centuries but not in chronological order, which is why I was sometimes out of sorts. I enjoyed the last half of the novel as it was easier to follow the family lines. #BorrowNotBuy

Switching to a different book with House in the title…I didn‘t realize how many there are!!! A multigenerational story, covering many decades & spanning many continents. Just started but so far it‘s good 💖Another Bahni Turpin audio #Audible #Bookspin

I just finished another book. I wanted to finish another book before the end of the month. I will be getting rid of this book.

For lovers of historical fiction, this book takes you down the lineage of one family that suffered at the hands of slave masters and then a racist society in parts of Canada and the northeast United States. Each chapter focuses on a different protagonist from within the family, jumping from the past to more recent years. It's well researched and descriptive. A page turner for sure.

Starting an ARC I received on Librarything. This is my first ARC book so between that and the reviews on here, really excited to read this one.

At the park with an ARC. This one came through #LibraryThing Early Reviewers, courtesy of Raincloud Press.

Finished this ARC this morning! A well-written and enjoyable saga about an Afro-Caribbean-Canadian-American family. The story moves forward and backward in time, profiling certain descendants. Apparently a sequel is in the works. #arc #librarything #earlyreviewers

What a beautiful story! It spans over generations of one family and shows how the world changes and the family grows within that world. I‘ve heard it‘s similar to Homegoing, but I haven‘t read that yet so I‘m not sure.

It has an interesting format in that it‘s more circular than chronological, but it somehow works as we get chapters from different characters within the family line. The prose is beautiful and lyrical!

Recommended!

Came home to book mail! Extra exciting because the previous two librarything books I “won” have been no-shows. #arc

Received my arc today from LT! Whoo hoo!🌾☕🌝
