what makes this novel really strong is its main character, Cherry. Indeed, she is lovable because of her strength in some aspects of her life and weaknesses in other ones. Thanks to this woman, the author has perfectly described the life of women at the time. That was not easy for them, even more for a black woman, but this story shows that they could find a way to live a better life and I think it can still have an echo with our current society, in some ways.
