Kingdom of No Tomorrow | Fabienne Josaphat

1 post | 1 read

From a PEN/Bellwether Prizewinner, a "beautifully convincing slice of history" novel about the Black Panther Party, perfect for fans of The Love Songs of W. E. B. Dubois (Barbara Kingsolver). Nettie Boileau joins the Black Panthers� Free Health Clinics in Oakland in 1968 and is soon swept up in an all-consuming love affair with Melvin Mosley, a defense captain of the Black Panther Party. When Nettie and Melvin head to Chicago to help launch the Illinois chapter of the Panthers, they find themselves targets of J. Edgar Hoover�s famous covert campaigns against civil rights leaders. As she learns more about the inner workings of the Panthers, Nettie discovers that fighting for social justice may not always mean equal justice for women. Fabienne Josaphat�s Kingdom of No Tomorrow is a timely story of self-determination and revolution amid injustice.

Kingdom of No Tomorrow | Fabienne Josaphat

so-so

I read this for book club & I‘m glad the audio became available on Libby bc I wouldn‘t have made it through the physical book. It was okay enough of a story but it wasn‘t my cup of tea. I felt like Nettie didn‘t make the best decisions. I know books like this are important, focusing on the period of time & the Black Panthers, but was not overly impressed with the delivery.
