What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers generally found the book engaging, particularly praising its historical fiction elements and the compelling backstory of Kitty Karr. Many appreciated its tackling of themes like racial oppression, "passing," and the complexity of family secrets, though some felt overwhelmed by its large cast of characters and intricate plotlines. The modern-day narrative received mixed reviews, with some readers finding it less compelling compared to the historical timeline. The book reminded several readers of "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and "The Vanishing Half," and many thought it would make an excellent movie. Despite some criticisms regarding the writing and execution, the book was overall well-received and recommended.
