“Pulitzer winning novel from 1982.
To sum it up…this covers slavery, orphans, love, lesbians, singing, family, American negroes, African negroes. It has it all.
Hope is the real message. Maybe I’ll watch the film.
Alice Walker narrates the audiobook.
Score 7/10

“A gothic novel. Well constructed and engaging book.
I liked the bastadised English that Florence uses.
An odd book which one never quite knows what is real or true.
Great atmosphere in the rotting and rambling gothic New England house.
Good stuff and I’ll read more by him.
