Rezension von MelIch kam schwer in das Buch rein. Hab manchmal nicht verstanden wessen Perspektive wir gerade lesen. Dann hat es mich etwas wütend gemacht, weil Personen nicht über ihren Schatten springen konnten. Eine Sehnsucht zu spüren war, der nicht nachgegangen wurde. Menschen die sich ständig selbst im weg standen. Aber es war auch eine andere Zeit. Eine Zeit, in der weiße Menschen sich über andere stellen. Und andere sich weiß fühlen wollten, um in der Gesellschaft aufgenommen zu werden.
Rezension von luisaDie Art und Weise, wie dieses Buch Themen wie Rassismus, Colourism, Familie & Identität aufgreift und über mehrere Jahrzehnte und Generationen hinweg erzählt hat mich tief bewegt. Und dann ist es auch noch so einnehmend geschrieben – bitte lest dieses Buch, es lohnt sich wirklich!
