Mud Row by Dominique Morisseau
Two generations of sisters navigate class race love and family on "Mud Row " an area in the East End of West Chester Pennsylvania. Elsie hopes to move up in the world by marrying into "the talented tenth " while her sister Frances joins the fight for Civil Rights. Decades later estranged sisters Regine and Toshi are forced to reckon with their shared heritage and each other when Regine inherits granny Elsie's house. "Morisseau gives exquisite voice to four women occupying the same four walls - and by doing so an entire community sings." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "Morisseau's writing is rich and authentic. Tense heartbreaking and ultimately inspiring Mud Row pulses with the the love Morisseau feels for her characters and the real life people who inspire them." - Talkin' Broadway "A tale so exciting and engrossing." - Broad Street Review
