Three lyrical and unforgettable novels from the National Book Awardâwinning author of The Women of Brewster Place. After winning both the National Book Award and the American Book Award for her now iconic debut novel, The Women of Brewster Place, which was later made into a TV miniseries starring Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Naylor continued to garner acclaim as one of the most original voices in twentieth-century American literature with novels such as Mama Day, Linden Hills, and Baileyâs Cafe. Mama Day: On Willow Springs, an island off the coast between Georgia and South Carolina, superstition is more potent than any trappings of the modern world. Here, the formidable Mama Day uses her powers to heal. But her great-niece, Cocoa, canât wait to escape to New York City. When Cocoa returns to the island with her husband, George, darker forces challenge the coupleâand their only hope may be the mystical matriarch. Steeped in the folklore of the South and inspired by Shakespeare, Mama Day is one of Naylorâs ârichest and most complexâ novels (Providence Journal). â[A] wonderful novel, full of spirit and sass and wisdom, and completely realized.â âThe Washington Post Linden Hills: For its wealthy African American residents, the exclusive neighborhood of Linden Hills is a symbol of making it. But what happens when the dream of material success turns out to be an empty promise? Using Danteâs Inferno as a model, Naylor reveals the true cost of success for the lost souls of Linden Hillsâa hell of their own making. âEvery page contains a brilliant insight, a fine description, some petty and human, some grandiloquent.â âChicago Tribune Baileyâs Cafe: This âmoving and memorableâ national bestseller is set in postâWorld War II Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, where Baileyâs Cafe serves as a crossroads for a broad range of patrons, a place of limbo for tortured souls before they move onâor check out (Boston Globe). âA virtuoso orchestration of survival, suffering, courage and humor.â âThe New York Times Book Review
