𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝗪𝐢𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧
This was an absolutely brilliant saga, spanning several generations, weaving multiple elements of drama, adventure, social awareness, and so on. When the plot begins with Eleanor Bennett dying and leaving a tell-all eight-hour voice recording, mandating that this be heard by her grand children together in the presence of a lawyer, we are aware as readers that this would be an interesting read. The Caribbean backstory, and the story of Covey, Gibbs, Byron, and Benny, is quite gripping. Wilkerson deftly manages the different points of view, and the simultaneous narrations splendidly. This proved to be an amazing read. My thanks to Wilkerson, NetGalley, and Penguin, for gifting me with a copy of this book.
