To Mary, Jim Crow was a trickster: sometimes friend, sometimes foe.
When Kitty Karr Tate, a White icon of the silver screen, dies and bequeaths her multimillion-dollar estate to the St. John sisters—three young, wealthy Black women—it prompts a flurry of questions. The most pressing of which is, why them? This intriguing premise sets the stage for a web of mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
I must be honest: I love the way Crystal Smith Paul structured the timeline in the book, masterfully alternating between the present and the past while making them complement each other. Kitty starts as a complete enigma in the beginning and middle of the book, keeping readers intrigued and eager to learn more about her.
Typically, I include quotes from the book and share my personal opinion, but this time I’ve decided to leave it open to interpretation. The character of Kitty leaves many unanswered questions, beginning with her focus on the inheritance rather than herself. There’s a sense of sadness in Kitty’s need to hide her true self and the difficult choices she must make regarding her career and family.
Final thought: While reading this book, I couldn’t help but get ‘The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo’ vibes. If you haven’t read this captivating novel yet, I highly recommend adding it to your list of books to read!
