SPOILERS: This book was a fiction reading as part of a book club - and fiction it was! Throw your understanding of possibility out the window. Someone who grew up in a swamp with MINIMAL socialisation somehow has a large emotional understanding capacity and can CLEARLY articulate their thoughts despite being abandoned at the age of 5! The characters are one dimensional until the end of the trial when they all learn to remove their prejudices of 'the marsh girl.' Also the blantant racism against people of color. A mammy figure who "moves like a small piano" is the only black representation we get. But the amazing white savior judge fixes racism by allowing POCs to sit anywhere in his courtroom! Do yourself a favor, don't read this unless you need a good eye-roll while you clean.
