"Do What Godmother Says by L.S. Stratton is a fantastic addition to the collection of works set during and celebrating the artistic environment of the Harlem Renaissance. This captivating dual-timeline Gothic thriller follows a modern writer who discovers a family heirloom painting by a Harlem Renaissance artist, linking her family to a mysterious past. The novel explores the complex and often deteriorating relationships between patrons and artists during this significant cultural movement. I thoroughly enjoyed this historical fiction, as it skillfully reveals the intricacies of creative ownership, particularly in the context of race and wealth."
