An award-winning author charts the poignant journeys of African Americans abroad as she explores her own transatlantic family odyssey in this powerful global history of traveling while Black.
The Grandest Garden was a lovely journey and a discovery of Gina L. Carroll’s world building. It is her debut novel, and I highly recommend you to check it out if you love reading stories with well-developed characters. There are a lot of things happening in this book, but what I mostly retain is the author ‘s love letter to art, African American artists in particular.
