I THOUGHT this book was about a horrible plane crash that devastated Atlanta in 1962. False Advertising. Not sure if it was supposed to be about how horrible white people in Atlanta were then, or what. Gave up after two days and only on page 70-that says a lot. Jumbled storylines throughout. Not impressed. I was looking forward to the book I THOUGHT I was going to read. This was not it.
Visible Empire by Hannah Pittard is a story set around an actual 1962 plane crash in which over 100 of the Atlanta elite perished. However, the crash is the back drop, but then the book veers off into individual narratives of some who remained behind. At the heart of it, this book was not what I expected and not about what I expected. I might have enjoyed it more had the historical connection not been drawn.
