Reid, Kiley

Reid’s many fans will be eager for this one. Share with listeners more interested in messy, flawed characters than discernible plots.

An emotionally intense exploration of power dynamics within relationships that doesn’t settle for easy villains and victims.

In her debut novel, Reid illuminates difficult truths about race, society, and power with a fresh, light hand. We’re all familiar with the phrases white privilege and race relations, but rarely has a book vivified these terms in such a lucid, absorbing, graceful, forceful, but unforced way.
