Another Brooklyn - Tapa dura

"An engrossing novel about friendship, race, the magic of place and the relentlessness of change."--People Magazine

"Woodson does for young black girls what short story master Alice Munroe does for poor rural ones: She imbues their everyday lives with significance."--Elle

"Another Brooklyn joins the tradition of studying female friendships and the families we create when our own isn't enough, like that of Toni Morrison's Sula, Tayari Jones' Silver Sparrow and Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde. Woodson uses her expertise at portraying the lives of children to explore the power of memory, death and friendship.--Los Angeles Times Book Review

"With Another Brooklyn, Jacqueline Woodson has delivered a love letter to loss, girlhood, and home. It is a lyrical, haunting exploration of family, memory, and other ties that bind us to one another and the world."--Boston Globe

"Gorgeously written and moving, Another Brooklyn is an examination of the complexities of youth and adolescence, loss, friendship, family, race, and religion."--Jarry Lee, Buzzfeed

"The novel's richness defies its slim page count. In her poet's prose, Woodson not only shows us backward-glancing August attempting to stave off growing up and the pains that betray youth, she also wonders how we dream of a life parallel to the one we're living."--Booklist (Starred Review)

"emotionally resonant work"--Seattle Times

"Jacqueline Woodson is a gorgeous writer...lyrical prose, really, really beautiful."--Emma Straub, New York Times Bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers

"Jacqueline Woodson's spare, emphatic novel about young women growing up in 1970s Bushwick brings some of our deepest silences-about danger, loss, and black girls' coming of age-into powerful lyric speech. Another Brooklyn is heartbreaking and restorative, a gorgeous and generous paean to all we must leave behind on the path to becoming ourselves."--Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize-Winning author of Life on Mars and Ordinary Light

"With spare yet poetic writing, this long-awaited adult novel by National Book Award winner Woodson (Brown Girl Dreaming) is a series of vignettes narrated by August, shortly after her dad's funeral and a chance encounter with an old friend."--Library Journal (starred review)
