grannyhanny 's review for:
If You Come Softly
by Jacqueline Woodson
It's hard to believe this was written 24 years ago! But as Jacqueline Woodson narrates in her introduction to the anniversary edition: this book became more and more relevant as the years went on.
It's a beautiful, short book, but the themes are rich. I especially appreciated that the complexities of family relationships and race/racism were more prominent than the love story. I don't think I normally like Romeo & Juliet retellings, but this one was so different, it was good!
