Reviews
" Kin is the kind of all-encompassing reading experience I'm always hoping to find smart and funny and deftly profound. This is Tayari Jones's very best work." --Ann Patchett, author of Tom Lake "Beautifully written and powerfully compelling. . . . Tayari Jones interrogates social injustice through the lens of personal relationships while exploring the ways in which it shapes those relationships, and she does this in language that is intimate, conversational, and musical all at once." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Jones delivers a triumphant novel of two motherless girls from rural Honeysuckle, Louisiana, who follow very different paths into adulthood. . . . Throughout, Jones tells her protagonists' stories with grace, humor, and pathos. Kin is a tour de force." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), " Kin is the kind of all-encompassing reading experience I'm always hoping to find smart and funny and deftly profound.
