Not what I expected, and I blame the marketing. Literary criticism, really, not biography. So many basic biographical questions were completely unaddressed: her relationship with her husband, her relationship to family wealth, her childhood, etc. If you’ve already read three books about Hansberry and want more, THEN I’d recommend it, but it shouldn’t be your first one. You don’t get the scaffold of her life communicated clearly.
