Book reviews: Mudbound, by Hillary Jordan

Racism is a fact of life for many people and Mudbound by Hillary Jordan, published in 2008, is a horrific journey through that racism.  It is so sharply felt that it demands to be read a second time.  The reader is left gasping from the shock and the arrogance captured.  It’s an ugly story, with layers of racism, sexism, and cruelty of all manner including murder and incest.  Hatred reigns in the south in the 1940s and the Devil walks and the tension rises.
