When The Reckoning Comes - LaTanya McQueen

Latanya Mcqueens When The Reckoning Comes Is So Deliciously Uncomfortable There Were Moments Where I Had To Put The Book Down, Take A Deep Breath, And Like Mira, Its Protagonist, Urge Myself To Go Further. This Is A Novel, Like Octavia Butlers Kindred, That Reminds Its Readers That As Long As People Dont Acknowledge How Much Of The Past Still Shapes The Present, It Will Bring Its Whips, Its Hatchets, And Fists To Make Us Learn. Megan Giddings, Author Of Lakewood A Haunting Novel About A Black Woman Who Returns To Her Hometown For A Plantation Wedding And The Horror That Ensues As She Reconnects With The Blood-soaked History Of The Land And The Best Friends She Left Behind.
