Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo
Ntozake Shange
Ntozake Shange's beloved Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo is the story of three sisters and their mother from Charleston, South Carolina. Sassafrass, the oldest, is a poet and a weaver like her mother before her. Having gone north to college, she is now living with other artists in Los Angeles and trying to weave a life out of her work, her man, her memories and dreams. Cypress, the dancer, leaves home to find new ways of moving in the world. Indigo, the youngest, is still a child of Charleston-"too much of the south in her"-who lives in poetry and has the supreme gift of seeing the obvious magic of the world. Shange's rich and wondrous story of womanhood, art, and passionately-lived lives is written "with such exquisite care and beauty that anybody can relate to her message" (The New York Times).Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Ntozake ShangePublisher: St. Martins Press-3PLPublished: 09/28/2010ISBN: 9780312541248Pages: 206Weight: 0.60lbsSize: 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70dReview Citations: Essence 01/01/2012 pg. 53
