This is an astonishing book---not only because of the wrenching nature of the subject matter, but because of the singularly original way that Ms Herron uses the English language. She is as much a poet as a novelist. Treat yourself to a copy of this book and prepare to be moved, challenged, sometimes charmed and often repulsed.
An African-American family in Washington DC copes with devastating family revelations and Herron explores the effects on a small child of the relationship between her parents and other family members. The family is headed by a DC physician who struggles over a relationship with his daughter and the ensuing traumas.
Herron's writing is captivating and hypnotic. I read this book 20 years ago and it still burns vividly in my brain. Do not miss it.
