7/4/2023 0 Comments Raven leilani book 2021![]() ![]() Edie is also incredibly frustrating and annoying, but in a way that feels so very real and so very relatable. First of all, Edie was a fantastic narrator – she is incredibly interesting and really perceptive, which allows for the kind of narration style I really enjoy, one that is hyper focused on the character, but also really detailed in how they perceive their surroundings. This worked for me on practically all fronts and it was the perfect “disaster woman” book for me. I do not think I’ve mentioned this previously, BUT Luster is probably my favorite book I read so far this year. Edie is the only black woman young Akila may know. ![]() She becomes hesitant friend to his wife and a de facto role model to his adopted daughter. In this world of contemporary sexual manners and racial politics, Edie finds herself unemployed and living with Eric. She meets Eric, a digital archivist with a family in New Jersey, including an autopsist wife who has agreed to an open marriage. ![]() Goodreads blurb: Luster sees a young black woman figuring her way into life as an artist and into love in this darkly comic novel. ![]()
