Review: ‘l\imbling’ first-rate
Continued From IB
of race relations in the North
as people in the neighborhood
come to terms with the reality
of how they are viewed as
blacks caught in the great
migration from the South.
The author, through her char
acters, makes a valid state
ment, that is at once humor
ous and thought-provoking.
The reader will fall in love
with Fannie and Liz, two
young women so alike, yet so
different. Liz, shy and retreat
ing, is left horribly scarred by
her abandonment and uncom-
fortable in
her new
home which
includes one
of her aunt’s
former
paramores.
Precocious
Fannie,
blessed with
the gift of
McKinney- f “"1
Whetstone
adopted home
is her birthright
"Tumbling" is a wonderful
work that is sure to capture
the reader's imagination and
should be among the sum
mer’s “must reads.”
Beautifully written,
McKinney-Whetstone’s first
work reveals a major talent,
capable of propelling her into
the ranks of the great contem
porary writers.
McKinney-Whetstone will be
in Charlotte on Wednesday at
7:30 for a book signing and
reading at Barnes & Noble on
Sharon Road.
