4.0 out of 5 stars A Poetic Account of Six Generations, May 26, 2000

This review is from: At the Full and Change of the Moon: A Novel (Hardcover)

A poetic account of six generations born from an act of rebellion and set free into the world, this novel begins on Trinidad as Marie Ursule plots a mass suicide of fellow slaves and ensures the escape of her "vanity and joy," little Bola. Marie Ursule's descendants, born of Bola and her lust for different men, dash off to disparate lives, which Brand describes in separate, always lyrical, chapters. Although Brand's repetitive use of certain phrases can wear thin, she shows a brilliant command of the emotional side of language. I would not recommend this book to casual readers because its emphasis on language and theme, and not plot, might disappoint them; however, this novel has much to offer serious and attentive readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but kind of long., December 6, 1999

steve (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: At the Full and Change of the Moon: A Novel (Hardcover)

I thought it was an amazing novel, very deep. I think Dionne Brand dwelled to much on simple situations in the plot, which at times made it boring, but overall extremely well written
