Book review: Gather Together in My Name by Tracy Price-Thompson
Posted by in Books
writes like it comes from experience, and for those of us who will never know or directly understand that experience, it's beyond good, bordering on amazing.
Alvin C. Romer actually does a really good job , so I won't rehash his work.
What I do want to say about this book is that Price-Thompson writes amazing characters: characters with very human flaws, but super-human strength.
Maybe it's a common strength in the projects in Brooklyn, I don't know. Like I hinted above, I will never understand that experience directly (or, at least, it's highly unlikely).
This is a quick, astounding, plot-twist-driven read. It will be back at the library Friday around lunch time, if you'd like to go grab (and I recommend that you do).
