Daughters

"Through four works of fiction in over the course of two and a half decades, Paule Marshall has not changed--her frank exploration of the details of the American dream has deepened and broadened but remained her central preoccupation....These days we know that Marshall's chosen themes are right at the heart of the American dream and the American dilemma. In her new novel, 'Daughters', she explores them with a breadth of insight and a maturity of technique that confirms her place at the front rank of American writers....'Daughters' is a work that has been mulled over and thought through; it is Marshall's most inclusive and sophisticated analysis of the intersection between personality, identity, family, politics and culture, an outstanding and important work and a fascinating novel.Marshall, Paule is the author of 'Daughters', published 1992 under ISBN 9780452269125 and ISBN 0452269121.
