Reviews

PRAISE FOR WAITING IN VAIN

A #1 Blackboard bestseller and a Washington Post Critics Choice

[Waiting In Vain] is in danger of remaining a work perceived primarily as yet
another black romantic tale. . . . The love story is interesting,
but not the most compelling element of the novel: What is intriguing
is the assurance of the voice, the strength of characterization,
and the clear redefinition of the Caribbean novel.
