My grandmother had a mechanical wall clock powered by weights. To wind it, she pulled down one of the weights, and for the next twelve hours, the clock ticked off the lengths of the chain as the counterbalance forced it back up. . . .

Quick shout out, Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing is all that.  This week, this book was awarded John Leonard Prize for the first novel by the National Book Critics Circle.

Nicole Dennis-Benn’s Here Comes the Sun is also all that. Her protagonist just keeps on going; she’s such an interesting, complex character.
