Review:
"Stunning. I know of no black novel about the South that exudes quite the same refreshing mix of wit and wrath, imagination and indignation, misery and poetry." --Life
"In this woman, Ernest Gaines has created a legendary figure....Gaines's novel brings to mind other great works: The Odyssey, for the way his heroine's travels manage to summarize the American history of her race, and Huckleberry Finn, for the clarity of [Pittman's] voice, for her rare capacity to sort through the mess of years and things to find the one true story of it all." --Newsweek

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reprint. Grand, robust, a rich and big novel.-Alice Walker, The New York Times Book ReviewIn [Jane Pittman], Ernest Gaines has created a legendary figure. . . . Gainess novel brings to mind other great works: The Odyssey, for the way his heroines travels manage to summarize the American history of her race, and Huckleberry Finn, for the clarity of [Pittmans] voice, for her rare capacity to sort through the mess of years and things to find the one true story of it all.-NewsweekMiss Jane Pittman. She is one of the most unforgettable heroines in American fiction, a woman whose life has come to symbolize the struggle for freedom, dignity, and justice. Ernest J. Gainess now-classic novel-written as an autobiography-spans one hundred years of Miss Janes remarkable life, from her childhood as a slave on a Louisiana plantation to the Civil Rights era of the 1960s. It is a story of courage and survival, history, bigotry, and hope-as seen through the eyes of a woman who lived through it all.A historical tour de force, a triumph of fiction, Miss Janes eloquent narrative brings to life an important story of race in America-and stands as a landmark work for our time.
