Rebecca wrote: "The Invention of Wings"I read it and it was a great book, but
By a person of color? I know she writes a lot about the experiences of blacks, but what is Sue Monk Kidd's ethnicity?
Marilyn - You are correct that Sue Monk Kidd is Caucasian. Her characters may be people of color, but she is not. I love her books but don't plan to use her for this category.
A lesson before dying by Ernest Gaines ... to me, such a beautiful book. Have read it several times
The Underground Railroad for me as well!
I second the vote for A Thousand Splendid Suns!
The Sellout by Paul Beatty. It's been on my TBR list for a while.
I couldn't seem to edit my comment but I could also vote Their Eyes Were Watching God since I have it and it's been on my TBR forever.
Swing Time by Zadie Smith
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Motherby James McBride
