Mudbound by Hillary Jordan

Wow, this was excellent.  I wasn't sure that I was up for another story about civil rights since I recently read The Help, which I loved.  I assumed that this book couldn't compare.  You will know from the first chapter that something tragic has happened, and the story is put together bit by bit from several different points of view.  It's a sad and disturbing book, but impossible to put down.  Definitely a 5/5 for me.
