Mecca by Susan Straight

MeccaMecca by Susan Straight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Told from various character viewpoints, Mecca will pull you in as the stories of each gently intertwine. Mecca is a cultural experience that teaches, reveals, and invokes empathy and understanding of lived experiences of the characters. This book will make your heart ache, stir your rage at the injustices, and make you yearn for more at its end. The only thing I disliked about the book was (1) that it had an end; and (2) how it ended. I wanted to keep reading and felt a sense of loss when I realized I had read the last page. Mecca is a cultural experience in and of itself and is a definite five star read that will take the reader on a cultural journey. #Mecca #NetGalley #JennReviews
