4.0 out of 5 stars
Read it and learn many lessons of life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Essays on Song of Solomon (The American Novel) (Hardcover)
This was a great book. I think it's very impportant for many to read this book at come time. Milkman learned many important life lessons that we all need to learn. I enjoyed her style of writing, she is a great author. She used many excellent writing techniques, such as, the motif of "flying" to create symbolism and imagery.
