Loved this book. I was not familiar with Suzan-Lori Parks but learning she is mainly a playwright made total sense as the multiple POV's and the consise use of words harkens to the theater.
In what could have been a confusing mess in a lesser writers pen, Parks shifts narrators with each chapter but the story flows so seamlessly, you remain caught up in the narrative. The plot builds steadily, this is a quick read, as the main cast move on an emotionally epic journey to "treasure", the meaning of which depends on the POV.
The book, set in 1963 is relevant to so many issues today; race, abortion, transgender acceptance, poverty, etc. What I love about Parks writing abilities is that with few words and through amazing character development she is able to convey so much about so many issues. This same ability translated well in somehow painting an entire setting for all the scenes in my mind that was so fully formed and yet came through writing that contained very little flowery descriptions. I loved it.
