Synopsis: A father’s sudden disappearance exposes the private fears, dreams, longings, and joys of a Black American family in the late decades of the twentieth century, in this page-turning and intimate new novel from the author of The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls.
It’s a warm, bright October afternoon, and Ozro Armstead walks out into the brilliant sunshine on his thirty-seventh birthday. At home, his wife Deborah and daughter Trinity prepare a surprise celebration; down the street, his brother waves as Oz heads back to his office after having lunch together.
But he won’t make it to the party or even to his briefcase back at his desk. He’s about to disappear.
In the days, months, and years to follow, Deborah and Trinity look backward and forward as they piece together the life of the man they love, but whom they come to realize they might never have truly known.
In a gripping narrative that moves from the Great Migration to 1970s Detroit and 1990s New York, we follow the hopes, triumphs, losses, and secrets that build up and tear apart an American family. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: The synopsis of this one definitely intrigued me, this book intrigued me. I enjoyed the story of this. This book covers a lot of topics, some of them are heavy. It's definitely an interesting read that I enjoyed.
It's a story that focuses on family, but it's not exactly a happy family. The big family wrench is the disappearance of Ozro Armstead. Where did he go? What happened? I enjoyed finding all that out.
I can see a lot of people enjoying this story. If it sounds good to you, I'd definitely add it to your TBR.
Anissa Gray is the author of the novel The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls. She is also an award-winning journalist whose work has been featured in The Washington Post, CNN, and The Cut. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her wife.
