Trace is a crime fiction novel by Patricia Cornwell.
I was alive for many of the events portrayed in this book - although too young to remember most of it. This was a wonderful combination of details on the wide cast of characters in the 50s and 60s civil rights movement, a deep dive into the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., and description of the events he was a part of.
I enjoyed learning more about the person - his anxieties, his foibles, and his singular passion for civil rights. That he accomplished so much in so little time is extraordinary, and this description of his life is worth a read, even if you've read other biographies.
Spending time adding this year's reads so far to #Bookwyrm. Now all I have to do is write a bunch of reviews...
It's a really great read about a time in history that most people don't know about. She weaves the stories of a number of folks that no one remembers to create a compelling, interesting story everyone should know, and, of course, an important lesson for now.
I highly recommend this - especially if you are a fan of history, and good explainers on historical events. I really enjoyed it. I listened to it, which was also enjoyable, as Rachel Maddow narrates it, but I'm sure it's a good read, too.
