The Revisioners by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
4.0

The Revisioners by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton had me holding my breath the entire time I read it. Told in alternating POVs by two women (ancestors) separated in time, themes revolving around motherhood and the poison of white supremacy.

Lyrical prose and the inclusion of a lot of songs and chants would have made this a great one to listen to on audio if I had more audio booking time. I am wondering why this one didn't get more buzz, as I found it utterly compelling and a perfect book club pick. Definitely worth your time to read.
