![]() ![]() ![]() Evvie is the type of character that you want as a friend and I loved that she did everything in her power to make her friends feel comfortable. She doesn’t quite understand it’s purpose or how to control it, but when something from her past resurfaces she must learn all that she can. This book definitely has trigger warns for rape, attempted rape, use of racial slurs, and violence.ĭaughters of Jubilation is set in 1962 in South Carolina and follows 16 year old Evvie as she learns about her “jube,” a magic that has been passed down an endless line of Black women. It explores some very difficult, but very real topics that have affected Black women. It’s not your typical or traditional fantasy. I went into the book expecting a certain kind of magic and got something more powerful. Quite honestly I was surprised by Daughters of Jubilation. I mean I think this is the 4th time I’ve cried this year because of a book and it takes a lot to make me cry because of a book. 2020 publishing is determined to ruin me. ![]()
