Jaqueline Woodson: Red at the Bone (Hardcover, 2019, Riverhead Books) 4 stars

Review of 'Red at the Bone' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

3.5 stars

Woodson is such an excellent writer. She conveys an emotional thrust so effortlessly across the page and that makes it difficult to put her writing down. This is a nice story but I didn't connect and it was over so fast I hardly had time to consider what I was reading. The sheer force of Woodson's writing elevates the story but I really wish it were a more ambitious work.
