Title: like going back home
Product review: "Coahoma Street" is a really neat novel.The story is entertaining and I had a hard time putting the book down once I started reading it.The setting for the story is Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 1967. (Clarksdale is called "Princeville" in the book.)"Coahoma Street" is an actual street in Clarksdale and Clarksdale's streets, alleys, and other physical landmarks are prominently mentioned throughout the book. The book, in my opinion, does a great job of capturing the essence of Clarksdale in 1967, especially the societal divisions that existed, while telling a story of inter-racial romance, along with greed, murder, incest, and homosexuality.I grew up in Clarksdale in the 1940's, so I found this book totally fascinating, but I think it would be an interesting read for anyone. However, if you have a Clarksdale or a Mississippi connection, it should really get your attention.I also think this story might make an interesting movie.
