A virtuoso orchestration of survival, suffering, courage and humourNew York Times Book Review

In postwar Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, theres a little place that draws people from all over - not for the food, and definitely not for the coffee. An in-between place thats only there when you need it, Baileys Cafe is a crossroads where patrons stay for a while before making a choice: Move on or check out?

Theres Sadie, the ladylike alcoholic with a mania for cleanliness; Sweet Esther, who caters to unspeakable appetites in a nearby boarding house, taking payment only in white roses; and Mariam, the Ethiopian child who may be the bearer of a miracle. Naylors breath-taking novel is an enthralling fusion of lives whose courage, mystery and humour suggest nothing less than a blues tapestry of America.

Gloria Naylor was one of the greatest novelists who ever lived. She holds a hallowed place in the canon, and also in hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits ROBERT JONES, Jr., author of The New York Times bestselling novel, The Prophets
