The Salt Eaters by Toni Cade Bambara
4.0

God this was good. I had a hard time following it because I read it under less-than-ideal circumstances, but I totally acknowledge that was my fault and not the book's. I'm going to be revisting this one in the future definitely. So much of this was so good--grappling with the hard questions about healing and moving on and community work. The opening line alone is like a punch in the chest, and it just keeps going from there.

I'd love to revisit this in like a group environment, but definitely will be going back at some point just to sift through more of it and see what sticks with me.
