==Reception==
Paule Marshall said of the book: "() greatest achievement lies in the sense of black life that it conveys: vitality and force behind the despair. It celebrates the positive values behind the black experience: the tenderness and love that often lie underneath the abrasive surfaces of relationships...the humor that has long been an important part of the black survival kit, and the heroism of ordinary folk...a most important novel."〔(Louise Meriwether page ), African American Literature Book Club.〕 It was an ''Essence'' Book Club Choice in December 2002.
