Review:
"Many novels have been written about slavery, but this one is original, stirring, vividly personal and painfully intense." --Los Angeles Times "The sort of book that ought to be read out loud. Both eerie and saddening, [and] filled with tragedies, it is also about survival. In its strong rhythms and colloquial expression, this book is a living woman's monologue." --The New York Times Book Review
"What most distinguishes Family . . . is the persistant affirmation of the power of the human spirit to do battle with evil--and to win, even if only for a while." --Chicago Tribune
"What a voice. . . . Cooper celebrates family, freedom, perseverance, life, and . . . powerful voices finally heard." --The Atlanta Constitution "With power and grace, Cooper weaves the dialect, styles and myths of the South into a portrait of the hell that was slavery.... Masterful."
--Publishers Weekly
