A story set in the 1930’s South at the intersection of Jews and Blacks living alongside one another, and despite their differences respecting and caring for one another. One complaint I have is it just felt like there was too many characters to keep track of, and with names like “Paper” and “Fatty” it was easy for my brain to not keep great track. It was worth the build up of all the different backstories to get woven together for the ending. Fun read, and even though it was fiction, a good look at a history I was unaware of.
