This book was so compelling because of the richly drawn characters and the sense of impending tragedy that suffused every page. Suspenseful in a heartbreaking way.

I had to read this for a class, and I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.

Remarkable in its ability to subtly convey the immense psychological toll of racism on its victims. What is suggested indirectly in "The Blacker The Berry" is made apparent here, to harrowing effect.
