My most recent favorite book is Cane River, by Lalita Tademy. It is an epic novel of four generations of African-American women, a work based on one family's actual meticulously researched past. They were women whose lives began in slavery, who weathered the Civil War, and who grappled with the contradictions of emancipation through the turbulent early years of the twentieth century. It was a very moving story and one that has stayed with me long after I read it. I loved it!
