The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead


In July, we discussed Lisa's pick, The Nickel Boys, by Colson Whitehead. It was based on the real story of the Dozier School, a reform school in Florida that operated for 111 years and had its history exposed by a university's investigation.

This was a hard book to read, but well written. It was timely, as well, as our nation continues to come to grips with systematic racism against Black people.
