Beautifully written this classic by Alice Walker captures the experiences of African American women. Walker boldly writes about subject matters that are usually ignored. I absolutely enjoyed this book. (

The stories are good and... I wonder how many of the most telling touches are experiences that the author heard others relate or even autobiographical. As usual, she mentions the oppression of racial prejudice and discrimination in the U.S. which did not make it into either history books nor most people's concept of social history. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 015602862X, Paperback)

Anatural evolution from the earlier, much-acclaimed collection In Love
& Trouble, these fourteen provocative and often humorous stories show
women oppressed but not defeated.These are hopeful stories about love,
lust, fame, and cultural thievery, the delight of new lovers, and the
rediscovery of old friends, affirmed even across self-imposed color lines.
