About this Item
Description:
A bright, square, and overall a nice copy. Seller Inventory # BOS-E-06g-01774
Synopsis:
A portrayal of African American family life in the South follows the coming-of-age story of Jeremy, who has been raised by his grandmother and aunt after the death of his mother and who meets his father for the first time at the age of ten
Review:
"Kirkus Reviews" Genuinely moving...an intriguing and variant contribution to the theme of the "disintegrating African-American family." A lean and nicely told story.
"Publishers Weekly"
Clever rumination on the difficult, inherent complexities of the father-son relationship.
"Booklist"
An excellent story about coming to terms with the past and with one's shortcomings, achievements, and family.
"USA Today"
Subtle...enjoyable...Jackson tells this nicely paced story with compassion and a keen sense of black dialogue.
"Paper" magazine
Jackson's prose prompts responses from both the head and the heart...via delivery that is clearly thoughtful, yet never contrived.
"Kirkus Reviews"
Genuinely moving...an intriguing and variant contribution to the theme of the "disintegrating African-American family." A lean and nicely told story.
"Emerge"
Stunningly fresh imagery, richly drawn characters, and race-transcending circumstances...a satisfying novel about secrets and the price that they extract from us.
"Publishers Weekly"Clever rumination on the difficult, inherent complexities of the father-son relationship.
