Sky Full of Elephants: A Novel

This was such a good read and honestly, it makes you wonder who is or isn’t beneficial in this world. Makes you reflect on your own traumas and if you could release that burden in exchange for the lives of others, would you? I loved it but the only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because I wanted Sydney and her father to be together in the end and building a new relationship after all she discovered and found out about the life and lies she’d been living at the hands of her mother. Still, so so good!

Great book. Thought provoking. Wasn’t thrilled about the ending.

I would say this is another book that needs to be read by all people of the Afirican Diaspora. It had great imagery and focused on self-discovery and oneness (with yourself and your people). I enjoyed the concept and how the author had stressed the importance of what it means to be Black in America.
