"[A] shrewd and lyrical portrayal of many of the realities of black life . . . Miss Naylor bravely risks sentimentality and melodrama to write her compassion and outrage large, and she pulls it off triumphantly." -The New York Times Book Review
In her heralded first novel, Gloria Naylor weaves together the stories of seven women living in Brewster Place, a bleak-inner city sanctuary, creating a powerful, moving portrait of the strengths, struggles, and hopes of black women in America. Vulnerable and resilient, openhanded and openhearted, these women forge their lives in a place that in turn threatens and protects-a common prison and a shared home. Naylor renders both loving and painful human experiences with simple eloquence and uncommon intuition. Adapted into a 1989 ABC miniseries starring Oprah Winfrey, The Women of Brewster Place is a touching and unforgettable read.

BELOVED CLASSIC: Naylor is talked about in the company of Alice Walker and Toni Morrison, and her work has influenced countless contemporary authors, among them Ayana Mathis, Tayari Jones, and Elizabeth Alexander. Oprah was such a big fan of this book that she adapted it into a miniseries. It's a perfect fit for our inclusive, collective hardcover Vitae series.
STRONG SALES: The Penguin Books trade paperback edition sells close to 5,000 copies a year.
FOREWORD BY TAYARI JONES: The New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of An American Marriage, who considered Naylor a mentor, will be contributing an original essay for this edition.
