Riassunto

FROM THE WINNER OF THE ASTRID LINDGREN MEMORIAL AWARD 2018 A TIME MAGAZINE TOP 10 NOVEL OF 2016 | SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2016 They used to be inseparable. They used to be young, brave and brilliant - amazingly beautiful and terrifyingly alone. August, Sylvia, Angela and Gigi shared everything: songs, secrets, fears and dreams. But 1970s Brooklyn was also a dangerous place, where grown men reached for innocent girls, where mothers disappeared and futures vanished at the turn of a street corner. Another Brooklyn is a heartbreaking and exquisitely written novel about a fleeting friendship that united four young lives, from one of our most gifted novelists.

Recensione:

< Beautifully lyrical...a collage of experiences and reflections that intersect geographically, temporally and sexually...Woodson evokes a New York of the 70s seen through the prism of young black females who are least likely to be portrayed in literature or any other art form, at the centre of it. --The Observer

The novel reads like a series of prose poems. --Los Angeles Times

This book about what it s like to be a girl in America should be required reading. --Huffington Post
