I want to say in my own defence, it wasn't that I couldn't take a good guess at what was meant by things like "having" and "sheba" it was that I wasn't sure, and at the same time these details felt important. In a book about race the ethnicity of characters, even in an anecdote, seems important.

So I was left feeling uneasy and like I may be missing the point. That feeling - which isn't the author's fault - hurt my enjoyment of the book.
