'Inspiring. Emotionally charged. Ground-breaking' BERNARDINE EVARISTO 'A revelation. I am so thankful to Ntozake Shange for seeing us, reflecting us and showing us how beautiful we can be' JESMYN WARD 'Encompassing, it seems, every feeling and experience a woman has ever had' NEW YORKER The Lady in Red has adored her lover for eight months, 2 weeks and a day, but now she is leaving. The Lady in Blue has an abortion, all alone. The Lady in Brown can read fifteen books in three weeks. The Lady in Purple has met a man, and is finally being real.

Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo
Ntozake Shange's beloved Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo is the story of three sisters and their mother from Charleston, South Carolina. 'A jubilant celebration of womanhood--as moving as the moon . . . pure magic.' --Kansas City Star 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).
