Review
A tragic and romantic piece about the life of a African American woman seeking love in a world where status and power are not only and ideal but a struggle for the Black community. Her many affairs as she tries to find true love involve much disallusionment and heartache. The work is poetic, the world is romantic, and the story is a combination of triumph and failure. A very real-life feeling work with a truly sympathetic protagonist.
