Industry Reviews
"...Walker here offers a many-voiced, often lyrical story--but in discrete, oddly shaped lumps--of her first marriage and subsequent awakenings over the course of a lifetime of relationships."
Kirkus Reviews (09/01/2000)
"THE WAY FORWARD IS WITH A BROKEN HEART is structurally and thematically similar to Walker's earlier work, but it lacks the humour and pathos of THE COLOR PURPLE. The characters are under-developed and often seem like mouthpieces for the author."
Times Literary Supplement - Eleanor Birne (02/16/2001)
"...Walker's most commanding, moving writing since THE COLOR PURPLE, prose that forges personal and political insights into shimmering poetry."
Entertainment Weekly (11/17/2000)
"Walker gives us a lyrically autobiographical short story collection that adroitly blurs the line between fiction and memoir....As she moves forward into the area she calls fiction--short stories with main characters who scream 'this is my life!' between the lines--she volleys between public journal-keeping and powerful, elegant prose."
Ms. - Samiya A. Bashir
