Industry Reviews
"Almost no one has tried to tell us about the early lives, the INNER early lives of Black people.... Alice Walker is a storyteller."
New Yorker - Robert Coles
"Alice Walker is exceptionally brave, and takes on subjects at which most writers would flinch and quail..."
San Francisco Chronicle - Alice Adams
"Walker dares to reveal truths about men and women, about blacks and whites, about God and love.... And we, like Alice Walker's marvelous characters, come away transformed by knowledge and love but most of all by wonder."
Adams
"There's a stark, elemental drama to the family struggles Walker depicts in THE THIRD LIFE OF GRANGE COPELAND...that can be compelling despite the clumsiness of her prose."
Salon - Laura Miller (08/11/2000)
