JCO: Black Girl/ White Girl

Hi all

 

Am I the only one to be disapointed with JCO latest novel, Black Girl/White Girl?  I thought that JCO could not make her mind up whether she wished to highlight the tensions of being the daughter of a radical family at the end of the liberal era in the USA or whether she wished to draw our attention to the racism that could existy at the heart of a liberal educational establishment.

 

For me this confusion got in the way of the narrative.
