HTML:<b>The National Book Award-winning novel—and contemporary classic—that launched the brilliant career of Gloria Naylor</b><br /> <b>&#160;</b><br /> <b>“[A] shrewd and lyrical portrayal of many of the realities of black life . . .&#160;Miss Naylor bravely risks sentimentality and melodrama to write her compassion and outrage large, and she pulls it off triumphantly.” —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>This e-book includes a foreword by Tayari Jones.</b><br /> <br /> In her heralded first novel, Gloria Naylor weaves together the stories of seven women living in Brewster Place, a bleak-inner city sanctuary, creating a powerful, moving portrait of the strengths, struggles, and hopes of black women in America. Vulnerable and resilient, openhanded and openhearted, these women forge their lives in a place that in turn threatens and protects—a common prison and a shared home. Naylor renders both loving and painful human experiences with simple eloquence and uncommon intuition. Adapted into a 1989 ABC miniseries starring Oprah Winfrey,&#160;<i>The Women of Brewster Place&#160;</i>is a touching and unforgettable read. Media Type: eBook.
