Tales from the Heart - True Stories from My Childhood (Paperback)

"Honest, exquisitely measured . . . inspiring in its reminder of the human spirit's capacity to endure."--"The New York Times Book Review"
" An] astute study of family and place."--"Washington Post Book World"
In this collection of autobiographical essays, Maryse Conde vividly evokes the relationships and events that gave her childhood meaning: discovering her parents' feelings of alienation; her first crush; a falling out with her best friend; the death of her beloved grandmother; her first encounter with racism.
These gemlike vignettes capture the spirit of Conde's fiction: haunting, powerful, poignant, and leavened with a streak of humor.
Maryse Conde's previous work includes the novels "Windward Heights "and "Desirada," both available from Soho Press.
