[close] "This is memory." Woodson's slim novel is pure poetry on the page. An award winning author for her youth books and poetry, Woodson's second adult novel, "Another Brooklyn" begins with 35 year old August returning home to bury her father. Recalling her childhood in 1970's Brooklyn, August and her 3 best friends, Angela, Silvia, and Gigi offer each other strength & comfort in what is otherwise an unsafe world for little girls.

Highly recommended.
