Memphis

"Memphis by Tara M. Stringfellow is an engrossing debut novel, a story about three generations of Southern Black women and their legacy, challenges, failures, joys, sorrows, and triumphs. I had heard about this novel months before its release and looked forward to reading it, but I was thrilled with the extent of Stringfellow’s storytelling talent. Beautifully written prose, unforgettable characters, messages of sisterhood and community. The author shows tremendous insight into the effects of violence on Black women in America, told from a captivating Southern female perspective that makes Memphis one of the most compelling must-reads of 2022 and beyond."
