Like a modern Faces at the Bottom of the Well, Nicola Yoon’s One of Our Kind is part allegory and part dystopian thriller. Jasmyn and King Williams are living the dream and moving to the new LA affluent suburb of Liberty where the population is 100% Black. Once there, Jasmyn feels like something strange is happening, and even though it’s pretty obvious to readers, it takes Jasmyn much longer to figure it out. Yoon’s first book for adults doesn’t quite make it there — I think teens might enjoy it more than adults — but anyone looking for a quick, page-turner with themes of social justice and race should give One of Our Kind a try.

"When Jasmyn and King Williams move their family to the planned Black utopia of Liberty, California, they hope to find a community of like-minded people, a place where their growing family can thrive. King settles in at once, embracing the Liberty ethos,including the luxe wellness center at the top of the hill, which proves to be the heart of the community. But Jasmyn struggles to fit in. She expected to find liberals and social justice activists striving for racial equality, but Liberty residents seem more focused on spa treatments and keeping up appearances. Jasmyn's only friends in the community are equally perplexed and frustrated by Liberty's outlook, a frustration that turns to concern when their loved ones start embracing the Liberty way of life.As Jasmyn learns more about Liberty and its founders, she discovers a terrible secret that threatens to destroy her world in ways she could never have imagined"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
