Críticas:
"Finally, a southern novel that a black person can love, can believe. Crossing Blood signals the arrival of a major talent among American novelists. "--Henry Louis Gates, Jr "Crossing Blood is simply one of the best books I've ever read, and for a first novel, it's astonishing. Nanci Kincaid has a way of getting under my skin with her wise and soulful portrayal of flesh-and-blood characters who remind us all of the pain and pleasure of being human. She's already one of our best storytellers with a lot more to come. "--Robert Inman
Reseña del editor:
Kincaid's fictional meditation on race relations in the Jim Crow South takes voice through its protagonist, a white teenage girl growing up in segregated Tallahassee. Lucy Conyers lives with her brothers, mother, and stepfather in Tallahassee, in the last house in the white part of town, just before the pavement ends and the road turns to dirt. On the other side of a patch of woods are Melvina Williams, the Conyers' maid, her drunken husband Old Alfonso, and a yard full of kids, mostly boys--including Lucy's obsession, the wild and handsome Skippy. This is the early 1960s and the battle over integration is brewing even in Lucy's own home. Her stepfather clings to segregationist ways, while her independent-minded mother believes in the cause of civil rights. Lucy understands that there are unspoken lines she is not to cross, but her curiosity leads her to trespass on the forbidden world next door. There, she learns the hard realities of love, race, and hatred. The story, told convincingly and compellingly in the voice of its young narrator, examines the complex relationships between family members, men and women, blacks and whites. Crossing Blood is a novel of making promises and struggling to keep them, of unlikely bonds and forbidden ones, of love gone wrong and love everlasting.
