Giovanni's room

I was blown away by the raw, unfiltered beauty of James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room. This novel is a steamy, soulful exploration of love and self-discovery. Baldwin's writing is nothing short of hypnotic, and his characters will leave you reeling with their depth and complexity. It's a literary masterpiece.

This book started off so strong but it lost me at the last third of the story.
I had also not expected the amount of sexism and weird comments towards women that it had.
Things like: ‘he's a corporation lawyer and she's just the little woman.'
‘It's that you've got me. So now I can be - your obedient and most loving servant.'
‘I felt her moving, rushing to open the gates of her strong, walled city and let the king of glory come in.'
