Hits the Spot,
This review is from: Sorrowful Mysteries and Other Stories (Paperback)
A book like this really works better in Hard Back. Not a bad deal in soft, but really calls out for the solid feel of endurance. You will read it over and over. Normandy Ellis is a treasure and you will hold this book with reverence.

Southern Comfort in a Book,
This review is from: Sorrowful Mysteries and Other Stories (Hardcover)
Top Rating!Normandy Ellis is to literature what the Allman Brothers and Little Feat are to music. Culture and tradition are woven together with grit and realism as beans and rice find their place together on the plate. In short, you must read this book to consider yourself literate (unless you are an ignorant carpetbagger).
