F*ck Gra' Coleman
All my homies hate Gra' Coleman!!
In the author's note, the author says she learned more about her great-grandmother's past that helped her to empathize with her, but I did not feel that way. Her constant and rampant abuse of everyone around her, but especially Bertha, was impossible to justify.
I loved this book and thought it was so well written and was really inspired by the biomythography concept. I do wish we heard more from Bertha and her siblings towards the end of the book. I really liked Nell and wanted to know where she ended up.
