Omschrijving
A long, rich dream
A long, rich dream
A hymn to individual courage, a sombre message of hope
A book full of marvels
Daringly brilliant
Toni Cade Bambara's writing is so great it lifts you off the ground
Nobody writes with her breathtaking humour, empathy, ferocity, and surrealness ... her observation and humanity are timeless. As a reader, I release myself into Ms. Toni's sure and steady hands, knowing every part of me will be illuminated by her gaze
