Harlem Rhapsody by Victoria Christopher Murray
I really wanted to love this one but I didn’t.
It promised the story of Jessie Redmon Fassett, a remarkable woman that I was excited to learn about. The book seemed to emphasize an extramarital affair with WEB DuBois over her outstanding achievements in the literary world. I couldn’t emotionally connect with the book or its characters and after finishing the book, the affair and the connotation that her achievements were a result of the affair is what I am left to reflect on.
I really wish the author success and I applaud her for bringing another black historical figure to the attention of the world. I wish it had been more focused on her achievements and the great authors she interacted with.
I would like to Thank NetGalley for the opportunity to review and ARC of this novel. Overall rating : 2.5/5⭐
