RaveLambda LiteraryMemoria is a powerfully subtle book about family and relationships ... this novel is an unfettered look at the intersections of race, class and connection, romantic and otherwise ... Filled with realistically drawn awkward interactions, the characters rarely articulate how they feel; they often don’t know how they feel ... Throughout the book, race and class frictions present themselves in fascinating ways ... With an easy flowing style and well developed, complex characters, Memorial is the work of a confident experienced author. It raises thought-provoking questions about race, class, and family, while providing no simple answers. Capturing the messy complexities of life, Memorial makes for a compelling read.
