Daughters (Plume Contemporary Fiction)

Rating:
Summary: Great Sleeping Aide
Review: Daughters reads very slowly. The book is filled with several interesting scenarios. However, they go undeveloped. The scenarios share no common link except that they involve the same characters. There seems to be no purpose to the book; including the title. (There was only one daughter.) I was determined to finish because I wanted to know the point. There wasn't one. Like Seinfield, this book is about nothing but it's a whole lots less funny, uneventful, and boring.

Rating:
Summary: In search of our mother's legacy
Review: This book manages to about some of the real concerns of being hemmed in by values that are imposed upon women, particularly black women. One of the truest pictures of the anxiety that besets a woman trying to juggle inter-generational relationships across countries.
