Just finished novel. Its one of lehane’s 3 best for sure.

I liked the connection between class and race - that poorer people are forced to deal with government mandates while the wealthier can "buy" their way to private schools, suburbs, etc. As well, the pernicious aspects to racism and how it hurts everyone's soul

I'm always amazed at this stupid question asked of writers "was that a deliberate choice?" No, it accidentally landed on the page. 🙄
