From the Paper:
"The book is largely feministic in its message, and could even be criticized for portraying black males badly and stereotypically. In general, though, it is the life and journey of an African-American woman in the South in the early twentieth century. Her saga is chronicled through her own letters, and she develops as an immensely poignant, powerful character who commands the attention of the reader throughout the novel. She learns to overcome the submission and the weakness that had come upon her as a result of her constant abuse, and she comes out as a confident and self-assured woman, though it is not until many years later."Cite this Book Review:
