Query: Not Ms. Walker's Best...

Unarmed with the language and depth that is an earmark of Alice Walker's wonderful body of work, this novel was an unexpected disappointment.The ambitious title left me anticipating a memoir with the strong character of You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down, deftly weaving the fictional with nonfiction. Rather, I found the introduction staid and the remainder of the novel difficult, rambling, and not fulfilling, lacking the strength I admire from Walker's other works.What is redeeming about this book is the tone--the very apparent importance to Walker herself in the telling of her story leaving the reader with an appreciation for the effort if not for the work itself.
