lorigivan 's review for:

The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis
4.0

This book is really well-written, and I really liked the unique format of how each chapter advanced the story from a different person's point of view. Sometimes Oprah's book club selections can be rather depressing, and this book got that way sometimes, but the terrific writing kept me interested. I was afraid the ending was going to be really depressing, but it wasn't...thank goodness! (I was ready to rate it only 3 stars, until I read the last 5 pages.)
