Fantastic Fiction!

This is a story of identity, love, family and racism woven into an intricate tale that takes the reader from Guadelope to France and then the United States. Conde is remarkable with her use of language and introduction of characters, all of whom are timely introduced to the reader. This is a great read for anyone seeking depth in fictional work.
