Another Brooklyn

This is beautifully written, and very spare–you get to know a lot about these characters without having too much spelled out for you. I, as a reader, would have loved MORE, but I grudgingly acknowledge that's not the kind of book this is.It would be an interesting pairing with Burn Baby Burn since they're both in NYC in the 70s, partly both in the summer of 77, but such different tones.It was also interesting for me because I read and loved Woodson's memoir [b:Brown Girl Dreaming 20821284 Brown Girl Dreaming Jacqueline Woodson https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1424308405s/20821284.jpg 39959105], and I know this is fiction but I did keep wanting to make connections to the memoir. (Also...I loved the memoir so much!)
