Review title: This book kept me up all night
Product review: Lalita Tademy pulled me right into her family. I came to care so much about these women that I couldn't stop, I had to see what came next. She handles the different cultures represented (slave to free, free creole, French emigre, white southern) so well that everyone's motivations seem to make perfect sense as you move through the changing scene. In 2001 it's not easy to understand the fathers' abilities to separate their emotional ties from their social "obligations," but this book leaves me with no doubt that's the way it was. If this were a novel, I would want the family to leave Louisiana and marry the men they love, but history wrote it another way.
