I really wanted to like this book and kept hoping it would come together, but for me it was disjointed and difficult to follow from beginning to end. Maybe it just went over my head. I appreciated the parts that delved into the impacts of the Immorality Act, which were heart wrenching, and the narration was beautiful. If this topic is of interest, I highly recommend Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime.

Disjointed, but beautiful narration

The highlights of this book are the poetic prose which is made even better by the entrancing narration. This book is also a great meditation on how we create identities for ourselves. The story itself was a bit more open ended than I would have liked. But overall this was very enjoyable.

Wonderful narration and lyrical prose

Poignant narration of one woman’s depression - painful though her actions were, as seen through the lens of brutal racism in the 1800s. Worth listening to again and again.

So beautiful this should be a poem!

This multi-generational thoughtful book full of entertaining stories and tragedy took me a while to get immersed, but I did by the end. Later, I had thoughts about the lives of those mentioned throughout Scatterlings.
