A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for Brothers and Sisters

“If this is a fair world, Bebe Moore Campbell will be remembered as the most important African-America novelist of this century—except for, maybe, Ralph Ellison and James Baldwin.”—Carolyn See, The Washington Post Book World

“A novel of understanding and misunderstanding, suspense and hope. Engrossing...optimistic.”—San Diego Union-Tribune

“Campbell pushes past the stereotypes and hang-ups to show that black or white, Korean or Hispanic, rich or poor, we are all human. And it is that affinity that makes us all brothers and sisters.”—Charlotte Observer

“Probing and honest (and at times, very funny).”—Chicago Tribune

“Provocative...candid...finely drawn characters.”—USA Today

“This absorbing novel explores the intricacies of experience, knowledge and bias which perpetuate inequalities and segregated lives.”—Publishers Weekly

“Excellent...a realistic and evenhanded portrait of the conflicts experienced by characters of varied backgrounds.”—Library Journal

“A gripping story of corporate and personal intrigue and a snapshot of race and gender relations at a very strained time and place in recent history...Campbell creates a vivid world of complex characters who struggle against the biggest of issues [and] fills the pages of her novel with the best answer of all: hope.”—Washington Times

“Daring and insightful.”—Kirkus Reviews
