![]() Nice job Jennifer Latham, Luke Slattery, and Pyeng Threadgill. It’s definitely the best book I’ve listened to this year, and among the best performances ever. I’m surprised at how few people have rated this book! I’ve recommended it to a few friends, and will continue to do so. It could also be used at the high school level in an advanced social studies class. This would be a great book to use in a college course on diversity or race relations. We have reasons to be hopeful for a more tolerant future in both the 1921 timeline, and in present day. Third, this book provides social commentary on race relations - then and now - without being overly preachy or heavily pessimistic. I laughed a little, cried a little, was reminded of people I know sometimes, and altogether enjoyed the ride. The two timelines are easy to follow and mesh together perfectly. The characters are likable and you root for them throughout. Second, the story is a perfect use of fiction to illustrate a true historical event. My ideas on specifically just how this author supplies this story using the past/present variation alternating perspectives in different amount of time was in fact instead special in simply exactly how. A great deals of these areas discussed in the read are still situated in Tulsa today. When they voiced other characters dialogue, it sounded natural rather than forced as is so often the case.

I had never heard of the Tulsa Race Riots until I saw a meme on Facebook announcing the anniversary of it in 2018! I did a quick search just to see if it was true and ended up buying five books on the subject - four non-fictions in paperback and THIS audiobook. ![]()
