JoyThis richly imagined novel about three sisters growing up black in white-dominated America introduces a fresh and powerful new writer who belongs in the formidable company of Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker. Subtle and searing, Joy is a wry, wise mix of tragedy and the humor that alone makes sorrow bearable. |
