Reviews
Chambers' candid novel explores the not-often-discussed issue of the lingering effects of slavery in New England in a story that is compelling and frank in its depiction of '20s America. Hardships and abuses are boldly confronted, especially as they affect girls and women of the time period. But a few questions remain: A serious injury to Tulip vanishes later in the book. While some characters are just stereotypes, others serve more nobly as an embodiment of the layered and fraught issue of African-American lineage. - Kirkus Reviews
