*SPOILER ALERT* - Do not read if you are reading or are going to read the book.
I’m not going to lie , the ending was disappointing… despite
it being a harrowing story I don’t believe the finale it proved it justice. Nonetheless,
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It wouldn't have been something I would have chosen
myself but I'm glad I followed the recommendation of my school librarian! There
are two main themes – integration (obviously) and homosexuality (yes that was the spoiler - sorry). Sarah and Linda, despite they're colour and statuses, form an unlikely bond that is so unique but dangerous, they must keep it a secret. The way the author changes the narrative makes for an intimate read. The language used was not particularly challenging
and the plot was easy to follow. You will come away from this novel with an
insight and probably a lot more knowledge of exactly what happened.
