anakuroma 's review for:

Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia
2.0

TW: racism, colorism, Black stereotyping, addiction, underage drinking, drug use, molestation by parent, detention camps, ICE raids

While I really enjoyed this book, especially the audiobook reading, I echo another reviewer who suggests one reads the review "Of Woman and Salt: a beautiful novel from Flatiron Books rubs salt in the wounds of the Black Caribbean" by Lorraine Avila.

While I reccomend it, especially to replace the racist darling 'American Dirt', it still had its own gaps, such as colorism and racism in Cuba that goes largely unaddressed.
