He captivates with his literary talent, surprises with breathtaking plot twists, delights with his psychological insights, and prompts reflection on the destructive consequences of racism on the lives of different communities and individuals. " —bernardine evaristo "bennett's tone and style evoke james baldwin and jacqueline woodson, but it's particularly reminiscent of toni morrison's debut novel, the bluest eye, from the 1970s."
