Title: Page-turner Romance
Review: Gloria Naylor's book Mama Day was wonderful. The story is told from the perspective of several main characters. The voice switches back and forth from character to character. You become attached the the characters and what is going on in their heads. You sympathize with them, want them to be happy. The romance between Cocoa and George is so honest and vibrant. They are not perfect, but they love each other. Mama Day portrays relationships as works in progress, not perfect ideals to be attained. Some of the themes include a search for identity and love of family and traditions. The community of Willow Springs is a community all its own, which hails no state affiliation. Naylor's phenomenal book makes the reader question his own identity in relation to his family history and relationships.
