This is a DNF for me, even though at 800+ pages, I plowed through almost 200 pages before deciding to quit. This is essentially a family saga, with some timely events (police brutality, BLM) thrown in, almost as an after thought. The father of a large, adult family dies, because of a convoluted incident with the police. His wife and five children (spoiled, selfish, racist, misogynistic) deal with their grief. There is not one likeable character in the book. I usually like JCO’s work, but this was a fail for me.
