Title: Fascinating view of a family
Review: Having read this book, I think I have a better understanding of race relations in the South, particularly in the middle of this century. All the characters were fully developed, and all of the complexities and subtleties of a family with half black siblings, and the aftermath of that discovery, were handled convincingly. What I did not believe was that one of the siblings who went north and passed for white would risk it all by returning south on a well-publicized visit. Otherwise, I would have given the novel a "9".
