Rezensionen
"Woodson's unsparing story of a girl becoming a woman recalls some of the genre's all-time greats: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Bluest Eye and especially, with its darkly poetic language, The House on Mango Street." Sarah Begley, Time
'Beautifully lyrical...a collage of experiences and reflections that intersect geographically, temporally and sexually...Woodson evokes a New York of the 70s seen through the prism of young black females who are least likely to be portrayed in literature or any other art form, at the centre of it.'
