Review:
"[A] powerful work." Essence
"The important thing about the book is its abundance and special woman's energy and beat. The beat is a deep one, and it often makes a man's seem puny." New York Times
"[Dorothy West] is a brisk storyteller with an eye for ironical detail . . . [and] a deft stylist and writer of social satire." Ms.
"Concerned with the magical qualities of black girlhood . . . The Living Is Easy focuses on the special role of the mother in childhood fantasies. . . . Cleo Jericho Judson is a grown woman when we first meet her . . . but it is the incomplete relationship with her long-dead mother that still drives her." Village Voice
"Long beloved for its wry and ironic humor, this novel continues to delight and challenge readers." Feminist Bookstore News
