krashing_daily 's review for:
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie
by Ayana Mathis
This reminded me a lot of Olive Kitteridge in that the stories are about folks all tied back to Hattie. The book covers the lives, in birth order, of Hattie's children, each at a different stage of their lives. Each story is heartbreaking but none so much as Hattie's, whose first experience at motherhood sets the tone for entire life as a mother. I debated giving it 3 or 4 stars. I suppose as I reflect on the story I would rate it higher than merely a "liked it." It makes a good book club book and comes with book clud suggested discussions. Oprah's notes were marked in the version I had and I found that a bit annoying, it didn't really lend much to the book.
