I was reading this book aloud to my husband....which is time consuming but he enjoys it.....and oh lordy i was SOOOOO tempted to cheat and read on ahead on my own. It IS that good. I WISH there was more to come.
(I was a child during the time of the Civil Rights movement but i DO remember when they began mandatory busing from the city to the burbs and how awkward it was.)
The main characters Lola and Abednego are 'colored folks' and tell a story that resonates with love, fear, friendship and TRUTH. Watts puts the reader right there in the late 50's south and again almost a lifetime later, and thru her words gives visualization to what could have been and sadly, what was.
