The bestselling author of An American Marriage brings the lives of two motherless girls in the American South vividly to life. Equally driven to find validation and identity, the paths of Niecy and Annie nevertheless diverge: one into struggle and poverty and the other to comparative opportunity and affluence. Jones’s lyrical, sensuous writing skillfully evokes the fiercely loyal bond between two young women whose strengths and vulnerabilities leap off the page. A great choice for book clubs. For fans of James McBride, Toni Morrison and Mary Beth Keane.
