finished my third book for the book challenge "nonfiction and a fiction book about the same topic (nonfiction)"

We Carry Their Bones: The Search for Justice at the Doizier School for Boys by Erin Kimmerlee. Not a happy book. If it wasn't a book club selection, I probably wouldn't have read it.

However the "nonfiction and a fiction book about the same topic (fiction)" is Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize winner The Nickel Boys. I don't expect it to be any happier but perhaps the veneer of fiction will make it less horrific.

Fortunately these outrages don't happen today. That school was shut down way back in... 2011?!!! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 18, 15:34 1
