![]() Otherwise, this book is a must read and will get you thinking about your life in a deeper and more meaningful way.īelow is my interview with Natashia Deón. My only critique is that I wanted more of Lou and occasionally Sarah’s portions distracted me from the flow of the narrative. ![]() ![]() This relatability to the character shows how great Deón is as an author. As a reader you come to understand Lou in a deep and meaningful way-a way that allows you to see part of yourself in the struggles she faces with identity, love, and pain. So much of this book is quotable you could make gorgeous wall posters with all the insights Deón has for life and love. I loved this novel! Deón has a poetic and gorgeous way with words that makes the story soothing and engaging to read. Lou’s story is coupled with a woman named Sarah living far into the future, who gives the reader insight into what is going on beneath the surface. As Lou begins to create a new future, her story unravels as she starts having strong visions of the past from times in history she shouldn’t have any knowledge about. The Pershing follows Lou, a young black woman in the 1930’s who wakes up with no memory of her life, name, or family. I was privileged with the chance to ask New York Times Critics Best Books of 2016 author Natashia Deón some questions about her new book, The Perishing. ![]()
