Recensione:

“Warm-hearted, earthy and sly. As enjoyable as a favorite relative who has all the dirt on the other family members in the room.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“My fifth grade teacher, who has since become one of my friends, one day said, ‘Instead of calling and asking me for advice, try reading J. California Cooper.’”
—Halle Berry, from “Halle Berry’s Bookshelf” in O, The Oprah Magazine, on Some Love, Some Pain, Sometime

“Whenever I want to relax I make a cup of good Egyptian coffee . . . and read or reread something by J. California. She’s my favorite storyteller . . . What a gift she has of painting such a truthful yet warm picture of us humans. What a song she sings.”
—Nikki Giovanni

“Exuberant. With her soul-stirring cry, Cooper urges readers to seize and savor every drop of life.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Cooper writes delicately honed observations of people and families with flair and passion and invites us into her literary celebration.” —Lucy Anne Hurston, author of Speak, So You Can Speak Again: The Life of Zora Neale Hurston

“Cooper’s . . . style is deceptively simple and direct, and the vale of tears in which her characters reside is never so deep that a rich chuckle at a foolish person’s foolishness cannot be heard.” —Alice Walker

“Cooper’s stories beckon. It is as if she is patting the seat next to her, enticing us to come sit and listen as she tells complex tales about women, often poor women, chasing dreams of love, a house, and a family.”
—Ms.
