Description: |
This jaunty but topical coming-of-middle-age story from Cleage (Baby
Brother's Blues) opens with an indignant argument about American
culpability in the Iraq war, as African-American actress Josephine
Evans—a self-proclaimed Las Vegas of grandmothers living and working in
Amsterdam—has just been fired from a theater production, ostensibly for
being too American. She returns to Atlanta to spend time with her
granddaughter Zora, recently undone by her peripheral role in a splashy
murder case, and to check on her family house. Josephine is hoping to
keep Zora's trust while steering her away from Zora's father's tragic
bout with alcohol. After seeing the cracked-out wreckage of her stretch
of Atlanta's West End, Josephine also embarks on a plan with four other
women to fix up her vandalized manse, a plan that includes the squatter
she discovers there, Victor Causey. The plot is predictable but
satisfying, and Josephine's voice comes through movingly throughout.
