Rezensionen
The Street: A Novel von Ann Petry
Extraordinary, heartbreaking, infuriating. An immaculately constructed haunted house story.
A fantastic novel that's just as powerful as Petry's best-selling novel The Street, which was the first novel by an African American woman to sell over 1 million copies. A Country Place is set in a small seaside town in Connecticut and focused mainly on white characters.
Review to come.
