The Women of Brewster Place by Gloria Naylor
4.0

The Women of Brewster Place weaves together the stories of seven women living in Brewster Place, an inner-city apartment with Ben, the alcoholic caretaker. Written in simple, but heartbreaking, language, this story shows the everyday struggles of women, African-American women, and the poor trying to make it in America. The book was both poignant and moving, eye-opening and frustrating. It's hard to summarize or review, but it was different than most books I normally read, and I found it very enjoyable.
