Review
"All [these stories] shape a more inclusive, sharper-focus understanding: one that reflects the expansive, untidy, outside-the-boundary lives lived today."
Ms. Danquah has indeed shaken a literary tree. The fruit that fell down will nourish readers for a long time, and probably the best thing I can say and I realize the most selfish is, 'At last, a number of older black women writers can stop holding their breath and exhale.' --Maya Angelou"
All [these stories] shape a more inclusive, sharper-focus understanding: one that reflects the expansive, untidy, outside-the-boundary lives lived today.
