Colson Whitehead has a gift for writing stories that will make you feel like the oxygen has left the room. Like to breathe would be a disservice to the characters he gave life to. Based on a real horrific place, Whitehead has written yett anotther engaging story that shows how so much horror and tragedy in our history starts with good and hopeful people being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This story stays with you. As it should.
