Fantasy elements to the story for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed this very different look at the lives of these women. ( ) I feel like this book was beautiful. I also think I am too centered in my own subject position as a white woman a generation younger than the characters to "get" all the nuances. Like at least one other commenter, I found the introduction with Indigo the easiest and most enjoyable to read, but I'm also used to that sort of narrative. Shange is doing experimental things with her prose and poetry and centering Black women's experience, which is more alien for me as a reader. This is a book I probably would need more help with to truly "get", so I don't know how to review it well. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ntokaze Shange's most beloved novel, Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo, is the story of three "colored girls," three sisters and their mama from Charleston, South Carolina: Sassafrass, the oldest, a poet and a weaver like her mother, gone north to college, living with other artists in Los Angeles and trying to weave a life out of her work, her man, her memories and dreams; Cypress, the dancer, who leaves home to find new ways of moving and easing the contractions of her soul; Indigo, the youngest, still a child of Charleston - "too much of the south in her"--Who lives in poetry, can talk to her dolls, and has a great gift of seeing the obvious magic of the world.
