★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review.
Well, this one was a surprise. I ended up liking it. However, the culture (black, Southern) is so far from my worldview (immigrant Canadian family) that it took me a while to understand the dynamics.
The Garden family of women is competitive and competent, but they are working at cross-purposes throughout. "I'm right, you're wrong," could have been a subtitle.
I'd love to know what readers in the American South think of it. Fortunately, the ending brings some resolution and satisfaction. Overall, a good story and interesting interactions.
