What the Critics Say
"These poems and prose selections are...rich with the author's special voice: by turns bitter, funny, ironic, and savage; fiercely honest and personal." (New York Post)
"Thandie Newton's narration works well with the introduction. Her voice echoes the weight and emphasis of Shange's words...Newton creates distinct voices for each part." (AudioFile)

"Loved It"
The book was well written, and Thandie Newton did an excellent job as the narrator. The way she changes her voice to suit each persona was brilliant.
