4.0 out of 5 stars An original and deeply satisfying book, 10 Mar 2002
By Rachel Brimble (Wiltshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The character names in this book are extremely original and that in itself sparks your curiousity from the first page. The story itself focuses on two different families, black and white intertwined in the 1950's, but instead of the usual racial tension, this focusing on them helping each other in very unusual ways. The characters are very strong and stay with you long after finishing the book. It is a fair size book but it is no way a task to get through it.
