Sugar and spice and everything nice

Wow, First of all this story was very good hate it taking me so long to read this novel.Ms Mcfadden did a very good job on this story about sugar.This tale take us back 15 years ago when they find a little girl in the wildflowers died.a Murder that left the mother without life until she meets sugar and her live change forever, a friendship that means alot to both of these ladies.A love that every friendship should have true friends.

Great read

Both Sugar & This Bitter Earth are great books! I read a lot of fiction and it's been a while since I've felt so attached to a plot and characters. The books are too long to read in one sitting, but I guarantee you'll try it anyway. Can't wait to read more books by this author. Oh and one last note, make sure you order both sugar and this bitter earth at the same time, otherwise you'll go thru withdraw waiting on the sequel to be sent to you after you finish the first one. ;)

Beautifully Written

I have owned this book for almost two years and finally decided to pick it up yesterday. This story is so powerful and moving. Bernice McFadden has a way of making the 1940's and the 1950's come to life right in your own home. There is never a dull moment in this tale of how a "whore" and a older housewife become friends. Bernice has a way of taking you on an emotional roller coaster with Sugar as you bounce back and forth bewteen her past and present. You slowly begin to understand exactly how she becomes the woman you are introduced to in the beginning of the novel. I will not ruin the story for you and the information from the cover is listed above, I will tell you this will more than likely be one of the best books you will read in a long time. This is a story that sticks with you for years to come. I cannot wait to get my hands on part two!

From an exciting new voice in African-American contemporary fiction comes "a literary explosion...a stunning tale of love and loss" (The Chicago Defender). The novel opens when a young prostitute comes to Bigelow, Arkansas, to start over, far from her haunting past. Sugar moves next door to Pearl, who is still grieving for the daughter who was murdered fifteen years before. Over sweet-potato pie, an unlikely friendship begins, transforming both women's lives-and the life of an entire town.

Sugar brings a Southern African-American town vividly to life, with its flowering magnolia trees, lingering scents of jasmine and honeysuckle, and white picket fences that keep strangers out-but ignorance and superstition in. To read this novel is to take a journey through loss and suffering to a place of forgiveness, understanding, and grace.
