<b><i>New York Times Book Review</i>:</b> "With the force and freedom of great traditional storytellers--the 'boldness and design' that one character asserts is the essence of black creativity--the narrator shuttles backward and forward in time, plunges the reader into the middle of conversations, thoughts, dreams. ...To accomodate her complex vision, Toni Cade Bambara takes lots of chances. Her novel is set in the black section of a large Southern city, a city much like Atlanta. ...But her characters inhabit the nonlinear, sacred space and sacred time of traditional African religion--the realm of Great Time, in which man lives both on the earth and in the presence of his gods."
