Harlem Rhapsody
Harlem Rhapsody
by Victoria Christopher Murray
Intriguing & Educational Historical Fiction (9/16/2024)
To me, the sign of a good historical fiction novel is when I can't wait to Google and learn more about the characters and this one fits the bill. I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of poetry so I had never heard of Jessie Redmon Fauset (or some of the poets she "births" throughout the story, but I'm so glad I now know her story and the impact she had on the Harlem Renaissance. What a truly spectacular and important woman of history.

Fans of historical fiction will enjoy this and it would make for a great book club discussion as well! There's so much to unpack.
