Bailey's café

A ';moving and memorable' novel about a cafe where everyone has a story to tell from the award-winning author of The Women of Brewster Place (The Boston Globe). In postWorld War II Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, there's a little place that draws people from all overnot for the food, and definitely not for the coffee. An in-between place that's only there when you need it, Bailey's Cafe is a crossroads where patrons stay for a while before making a choice: Move on or check out? In this novel, National Book Awardwinning author Gloria Naylor's expertly crafted characters experience a journey full of beauty and heartbreak. Touching on gender, race, and the African American experience, Bailey's Cafe is ';a sublime achievement' about the resilience of the human spirit (People).
