4.5 stars.I often find it a lot harder to review the books I really liked than the ones I didn't, so I've been sitting on this review for weeks.But I really loved this book.

Thank you HarperCollins via Edelweiss for providing me with an early copy of this book! It all started with Joe Jones, a black man – an artist – in the early 60’s.

Regardless of whether or not the reader likes the story or the subject matter of this book, from the first page to the last, the reader will appreciate Lamb’s way with words.
