Author: Alice Walker
Details: (c) Alice Walker 2000; Pub 2001 The Women's Press; ISBN 0-7043-5077-7
Verdict: The way forward is with a broken heart is extremely effective.
Reasons for reading it: I had been putting off reading it because Walker is such a painful writer. The combination of feeling guilty about not being brave enough for it, and not having much else around that I haven't read once led me to overcome this reluctance.
How it came into my hands: One of the Dundee charity shops; yes, it's been sitting around preying on my conscience for about three years now!
