The topic is interesting and there are a lot of things about black history in this country that I learned in the early chapters of the book. Ms. Wilkerson deserves all the accolades for the time and energy that she put into researching and writing this book. If you like history, this book is a great read. If you are looking for a novel this is not the book for you. Even though she introduces you to several people throughout the book, it is hard to connect with the individuals on a personal level.
