Hi Crystal - I am SO pleased that you liked The Good Negress. I have been boring everyone I know about this book for ages - it's one of those where you just want to share with the whole world the experience of reading it and the wonderful writing of the author. I love the way she has transcribed the Southern accents. The scene where the grandmother punishes the brother is still with me after so many years.
I am reading Rhode Island Red by Charlotte Carter. It is the first book in the Nanette Hayes series. I've already read numbers two and three and I loved them. She is my favorite AA mystery author. I have just finished Inner City Blues by Paula Woods, but I found it dragged on a bit and didn't really grip me, though it was a good story and the characters were interesting. Has anyone read her other novels and are they any tighter?
re incest - The color purple may have been published earlier? |
