I began reading this book and I felt bad for Pearlie. She seemed sweet but gullible. She seemed to long for love but she lived in her own dream world.

An African American woman wrestles with her husband's mysterious past when a white man shows up on her doorstep and reveals that he was once the man's lover. Set in 1950's San Francisco, Greer's novel is a kind of Sophie's Choice filtered through the lens of Douglas Sirk. Greer keeps the melodrama at bay in an evocative portrait of postwar life, largely on the strength of the wife's first-person narrative voice. What emerges through the eyes of its wary, observant protagonist is an original snapshot ... Read More
