Critics Review

Petry is the writer we have been waiting for, hers are the stories we need to fully illuminate the questions of our moment, while also offering a page-turning good time. Ann Petry, the woman, had it all, and so does her insightful, prescient and unputdownable prose … The Narrows is the story of a doomed interracial romance that proves that passion and prejudice are not mutually exclusive - New York Times
