 amazing piece of work August 3, 2008
I fell in love with Naylor after reading this book. It speaks to the human spirit. It speaks of love, pain and triumph. This creation is delicate and intensely personal. To be black, to be woman--to create community and bonds that defy understanding. You don't read this book; you feel this book.
Beautiful Naylor! November 8, 2007
This book is vibrant with emotion! Naylor has a way of making you physically experience the feelings of her characters in vivid ways. The memories of each woman in the book creates facets of one truly compelling story that must be read!
 Women of Brewster, Women of America February 24, 2007
It was very interesting how Naylor was able to intricately weave the lives of the prototypical project women into a poignant novel that readers from all backgrounds can appreciate. We must not forget that even the underdogs of society have the most compelling stories. I love the fact that after reading this novel, I can ride by a desecrated city block or housing project and wonder about the interesting lives of its residents. How did they get there? Are they happy? And before I come off as superficial, I can also say that I do the same thing with people of other backgrounds. The important thing is that EVERYONE has a story and Gloria Naylor did an excellent job of portraying the many facets of the lives of black women living in low-income environments.
CLASSIC! February 3, 2007
What can I say? A True timeless classic! If you liked the movie you'll Love the book.
The Women of Brewster Place is a must read January 10, 2007
An absolute must read. This a a well written story about different types of women from different backgrounds coming together to fight a like. Proving that when people come together in unity, no matter who they are, and work together, great things can be accomplished.
