“The most refreshing voice in the black idiom since readers first discovered Toni Morrison.”
—Claude Brown, author of Manchild in the Promised Land
“Naylor creates a completely believable, and very frightening, world of degradation, violence and human—very human—courage and sturdiness.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Vibrating with undisguised emotion, The Women of Brewster Place springs from the same roots that produces the blues. Like them, [Naylor’s] book sings of sorrow proudly borne by black women in America.”
—The Washington Post
