A Woman's Place: A Novel Paperback – March 1, 1995

It was one of the best books that I've read and I read allot of books.

I first read this book twenty years ago, and absolutely fell in love with it. I love how the author writes the story from the viewpoint of each of the three women.

Reading this book made me realize that the world hasn't changed. Serena, Faith and Aisha all are looking for their place in society and each go about finding it her own unique way, using their God given talents. I'm glad I read this because it teaches about the African American authors that came before Terry, EJD and E Lynn Harris whom these authors emulate.

This book turned out to be a good read for, maybe, a book club. I eventually liked the book and at the end I wanted more-wanting to know more about Aisha(Faith), Crystal and Serena. The story started off slow. I didn't really get into it until after about the first 50 pages, but I found it worth the wait.As you read the book you may find out that you can identify in some ways with the characters. I like the style she chose as far as giving the chapters character names instead of simply numbering them. Its as if she gave a different voice for each chapter and you as the reader were to read from that character's viewpoint.My biggest criticism of this book is that sometimes it was hard to follow who was saying what. The story with Crystal and Neil didn't seem thorough enough. The ending from Tameka's viewpoint left you wanting more to the story.

This is the story of Faith, Serena, and Crystal. The three ladies first meet at a white college where they all are roommates. The novel's let's you find out what happen to the ladies after college. Faith becomes a muslim, Serena ends up movin and working in africa, and Crystal marries a white guy. The book is real good, it's written from all of the women's viewpoint.

j'ai adoré ce livre !!! It was an amazing story through these 3 African-American women. I really Golden's work. I loved it.
