different than I expected, but I really liked it
So Many Beginnings, this historical fiction re-telling is firmly rooted in the power of the history and oppression of words. Packed with family and ambition, Morrow tells the story of four sisters with vastly different dreams. In many ways, So Many Beginnings feels like a slice of life. A moment of transition and change. New hopes and dreams, while still confronting the history and racism. The ways that even with ‘freedom’ they are still being spoken for and how names may change, but behaviors do not.
Morrow welcomes us into their lives to witness their paths diverging, their differences which peek out more and more. I loved how Morrow not only retained some elements of the original in So Many Beginnings, but also truly adapted it. There was so meaning and nuance introduced into this time period and their lives. Overall, I am just so impressed with this entire Remix series so far and So Many Beginnings definitely stands out. There’s a core of nuanced discussion about freedom, history, and racism.
