Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The Girl Who Fell from the Sky is that rare thing: a post-postmodern novel with heart that weaves a circle of stories about race and self-discovery into a tense and sometimes terrifying whole." "One of the most convincing, original, and moving novels in the distinguished canon of American interracial literature." -George Hutchinson, author of In Search of Nella Larsen
