Sarah Wrights triumph in this novel is a celebration of life over death. It is, in every respect, an impressive achievement.The New York Times, 1969Often compared to the work of Zora Neale Hurston, the novel was unusual in its exploration of the black experience from a womans perspective, anticipating fiction by writers like Toni Morrison and Alice Walker.The New York Times, 2009Originally published in 1969 to broad critical acclaim, This Child's Gonna Live is an unsurpassed testament to human endurance in the face of poverty, racism, and despair. Set in a fishing village on Maryland's Eastern Shore in the 1930s, this story has as its main character the unforgettable Mariah Upshur, a hardworking, sensual, resilient woman, full of hope, and determination despite living in a society that conspires to keep her down. In her mind, she carries on a conversation with Jesus, who, like Mariah herself, is passionate and compassionate, at times funny and resolutely resilient to fatalism. Often compared to Zora Neale Hurston for her lyrical and surehanded use of local dialect, Wright, like Hurston, powerfully depicts the predicament of poor African American women, who confront the multiple oppressions of class, race, and gender.
