Heralded as an important novel I personally don't find anything unique about it. Slow moving, the chatecters are ordinary and plot tedious. Will continue the journey with hopes it will change

Classic storytelling that's reminiscent of black voices of the period. Easy going narrative with relatable characters, the hallmark of good writing

A slight tinge of To Kill a Mockingbird, their similarities being stories from the South during the 40s. Never read any others by Gaines and hopefully it's at the same level
