Negative Positive
Title: Sad, Disturbing, Funny, Beautifully Written
Review: Parts of this book made me breathless with its heart-breaking beauty. Parts made me laugh out loud. Parts have taken up their places in my mind and won't go away.Much of the content of this book is difficult, although it ultimately is about survival. Alcoholism, abuse, casual racism.Although many have called this book a novel, it is more a collection of related short stories told in various voices, most of which seem very authentic and real.Like many people, I read the 2nd book "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" first. This is a more difficult, less funny book, but it is a book worth your time.
