I read this book in one sitting years ago and still think about it constantly — that’s how good this was. I read it sitting on the small balcony of my little one-bedroom apartment in the summertime, and the book gave me such a sense of place that I felt like I fell directly into the pages and was transported for the whole Sunday I was reading it.
Always looking for something I can sink my teeth in. Though cozy mysteries are my favorite reads, I like mixing it up with something of depth. I recently read "The Moonlight School" by Suzanne Woods Fisher, based on the true story of Cora Wilson Stewart and her drive to bring literacy to the Appalachia.
I have actually never heard of this book, but being from Kentucky, it definitely is one I know I'll want to read! Thank you for bringing it up! (Also, I'm just starting a fun witchy cozy mystery right now called In the Company of Witches by Auralee Wallace, and it's so fun!)
I am currently reading We Are Each Other's Harvest, an anthology of writing by and about Black farmers and ag people, that Natalie Baszile edited. It's really wonderful, and now I am excited to read her novel, too!
I'm so so glad you commented, because I had not heard of that book! I am so excited to read it now! What a great companion, and I cannot wait to check it out!
I'm so glad! So many people are always looking for books like Pachinko, and while it's definitely different subject-matter-wise, I think their hearts are the same and they both have that same sweeping family saga feel that will quench that thirst.

I LOVED Pachinko so that is definitely an endorsement for checking out Queen Sugar -- thank you!
