Reviews
The greatest Southern literature - from Faulkner on down - has dealt squarely with the broken pieces of the South. But White does this difficult work firmly in the modern age. The topics of classical Southern writing - race, class, religion - are all there, but she explores our more modern challenges, such as the acceptance of gay sons and daughters into our families, with a directness and courage that would do Flannery O'Connor proud….White has the remarkable ability - shared by only the greatest storytellers - to let her characters be who they are, for better or worse. Her writing never leads the reader to conclusions; it lets us draw our own., A Place at the Table reads like a master chef's five course meal: each section makes its own delicious sense, but taken all together the intertwining stories in this novel create something uniquely magical. Susan Rebecca White made me think, made me cry, made my jaw drop, made me laugh out loud. A story of outsiders in this world, this fantastic book defies convention in plot, characterization, and even narrative structure, to forge something amazing in its pages: new identities, relationships you have not seen before, new stories, characters you will never forget. Like a brilliant new recipe: it works! Savor this confident storytelling -- you'll know you're in good hands from the first page. A book you'll devour quickly and then want to share with friends!, "Great expectations follow when a book opens with three distinct, seemingly unrelated story lines because you know somehow they all will be lashed together by the end….White's ability to write with a believable voice from three such disparate perspectives keeps the "How?" at bay, while providing a sounding board for social issues that continue to confront us today.", The greatest Southern literature - from Faulkner on down - has dealt squarely with the broken pieces of the South.
