The Cutting Season by Attica Locke
4.0
challenging medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really enjoyed this book. It’s my favorite of Attica so far. Using a plantation and the air of the Jim Crow south was done in an explorative way.  Using historical context to discuss the horrors of growing up in the south was done in a way I appreciated.
