3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Writer, Difficult At Times To Read,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aquaboogie (Paperback)
If I could, I'd give this book 3.5 stars. Susan Straight is a skilled writer - I ordered this book after reading a short story in "The Sun" magazine. I believe this was her first book and it is a clever concept. She links characters, across three generations, in short stories who are related by blood or friendship, all black. I felt pretty ignorant as I learned about institutionalized racism and how it shapes people, their decisions and who they become. It was not always inspired reading, but there are some gems in her words and characters. It is a good book.
