*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on 11 September 2024*

A truly American story about love and perseverance. James McBride ability to make sense of an unbelievable odyssey is remarkable. A loving and warm story of success against all odds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Ver good memoir
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in Canada on 29 February 2024*

Partly fictionalized, but speaks clearly about racism. The author grew up as the black son of a black father who died around the time of his birth, and an Ashkenazi Jewish mother. When her young son asked her what was the "best" skin colour, she replied "the colour of water".Great characters, beautiful voices, and totally believable situations. Strongly recommended.
