I just started The Book of Accidents (Del Rey, 2021) by Chuck Wendig, but I’ll need to set it aside for a day or two to finish Libertie. This is an ebook loan from the library that I’ve been saving for October, when I like to read horror – just to keep up with the genre a bit and join the annual RIP (Read in Peril) Challenge.
Libertie (Algonquin, 2021) by Kaitlyn Greenidge
Inspired by the life of one of the first Black female doctors in the United States and rich with historical detail, Kaitlyn Greenidge’s new and immersive novel will resonate with readers eager to understand our present through a deep, moving, and lyrical dive into our past. – From the Publisher
Reading Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge for book club this week. Set in Reconstruction-era Brooklyn, it does start out with total immersion into the life of a young woman who is the daughter of a doctor with a dream for her daughter to also become a doctor like her.
The author’s previous book, We Love You, Charlie Freeman, has been on my TBR list since it came out in 2017; I haven’t read it yet, but the concept of freedom plays a large role in that one, also, I believe.
