Review: Sing, Unburied, Sing

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was both more depressing and also more hopeful than I imagined it would be, if that makes sense. 

I read some other people were complaining about the ghosts, but they worked for me. They are there more in the sense of spirits, and apparently a connection to African-based traditions. 

This was recommended to me by a lady in Lugano, Switzerland, when I told her I haven't read much contemporary American fiction, and I'm very glad she did. In turn I also highly recommend it. 

Now I'm going to have to read a few light YA books or something to recover.
