5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful photos and a beautiful story, October 16, 1999

Becky Senf - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sweet Flypaper of Life (Hardcover)

This collaborative book between Hughes and De Carava is small and wonderful. The story by Hughes is a gentle tale of one woman's life in Harlem in 1955. It is richly illustrated with the beautiful photographs of Harlem family life by De Carava.
