Voices of 7 women in a condemned neighbourhood!, 12 Mar 2010

This review is from: Women of Brewster Place (Modern Fiction) (Paperback)

--------------------------------

Brewster Place is a godforsaken street in a rundown area in small-town America. The black women who live there have admitted different kinds of defeat by being there at all, but there is no air of defeat in this last stand place, full of courage and resillience.

Through the beautifully wrought stories of seven black women, this remarkable work of fiction evokes intimately and powerfully the lives of unpriviledged women in an urban ghetto - a world in which the women fight against, survive and sometimes transcend the implacable desolation of their surroundings.
