One of the most powerful impacts of this novel is the poignant observation of the explicit but also sometimes more casual, implicit racial discrimination that happens every day and everywhere to people of colour. ![]() ![]() Reid excels at dismantling the complicated relationship of mother, child and babysitter and holds the emotional labour of parenting up to the spotlight for fearless scrutiny. novels such as this powerful debut by American author Kiley Reid are integral to society’s understanding of nuanced race dynamics in our time. ![]()
