The year is 1963, and young Denise Palms has rejoined her family in Detroit where she must work to make a place for herself and prepare for the arrival of her mother's new baby. The baby will mean the end of Denise's afterschool lessons with a stern teacher who insists that Denise learn to speak 'proper' English to make herself heard. Verdelle's intuition and ear allow her to dramatize precise moments of Denise's selfrecognition and, in the process, offer an inside look at a maturing intelligence. The Good Negress marks the arrival of an original voice in contemporary fiction.'Truly extraordinary.' Toni MorrisonA Quality Paperback Book Club SelectionWinner of the Harold D. Vursell Award, American Academy of Arts and Letters
