Helpful Score: 1

This book is written like an orchestra. It tells the story of white, Christian, American culture which evolves throughout the book as it reflects on different African cultures and includes the politics from both areas. Sections begin in the mothers voice, reflecting on events many years later and each chapter alternates among the present voices of the four daughters. The writing was brilliant. The story took unpredictable turns and was very intriguing. The characters were richly developed and very enjoyable.
