—Naomi Jackson, author of The Star Side of Bird Hill
“Grief and friendship are the hallmarks of this story that leaps from the pages in a musical prose that is exacting and breathtaking. Woodson illustrates the damning invisibility and unrelenting objectification of girls in this tender tale that effuses a spirit of unrelenting hopefulness. Another Brooklyn is a tableau of the personal and the collective that is at once graceful, restrained, and potent. It is an exquisite telling.”
—Lauren Francis-Sharma, author of ’Til the Well Runs Dry
