Crooked Plow
by Itamar Vieira Junior
gifted by the publisher
The lives of two sisters are inextricably bound after discovering and "tasting" an ancient knife that results in a tragedy. Split into three parts, CROOKED PLOW explores themes of slavery, exploitation, and spirituality. I adore the discussions of one's connection to the land and how to leverage the unbreakable ties to ancestors for resistance. The blend of magical and social realism gives CROOKED PLOW a dream-like quality that makes it a compelling read. The first two parts following the twins are captivating, while I feel part 3 flew over my head and isn't fully fleshed out.
