Mudbound Topic #2

Okay...so I failed miserably this month on posting discussions. With all that has been going on I just let it slip away. I've had discussions on an individual basis and that was fun, but I promise to do better with my next turn!! At this point I was thinking we should just make it an open discussion. Post anything you would like to about the book....something that stood out to you, something you didn't like, whatever sticks out in your mind. My favorite thing about this book was reading about this period of sharecropping and racial segregation along with World War II. I've never read another book that put all those events in history together, and it kind of gave me another look at it. It's hard to imagine that people could hate one another so much, and even be afraid of another person because their skin was a different color. I also thought it was interesting that people were not treated badly in Europe, when in the US there were treated almost unlike human beings. So tell me your thoughts....
