Critics Review
Praise for Pearl Cleage and Babylon Sisters“Pearl Cleage’s wonderful new novel, Babylon Sisters, shows a writer at the top of her game, managing to weave together the eternal dance of mothers and daughters, a timeless love story, rich friendships, and international politics into a fast-paced Atlanta saga with an unforgettable villain and a thrilling climax that leaves us cheering. Cleage has once again given us a book filled with folks who are so real we think we know them, or wish we did.”–E. Lynn Harris, author of A Love of My Own“Babylon Sisters’ funny, feminine, fabulous voice sings a story of history, family, love and redemption. Cleage’s ability to make the personal political and the political personal triumphs once again! Nestled in this beautifully written ode to love–of child, friends, men, and self–is a call to political activism and empowerment.” –Jill Nelson, author of Sexual Healing“Cleage writes with amazing grace and [a] killer instinct.” –The New York Times“A perfect blend of love and activism … [Cleage’s] characters struggle with issues of conscience and consequence, and readers are always richer in the end.”–The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
