amalgetoverit's review against another edition

Im not sure what it is about Angelina that draws me to her work, or I suppose I am not sure of a singular thing. It is wild that her play would have not only been published but also performed, even with the aside of her being a black woman in the 1920s (albiet from a well off family), however the content that the play address feels almost early for its time in being present.

It’s so thoughtfully written and profound. It’s honestly such a gorgeous and raw play. I cried so many times while reading it, therefore I would be crying the entire time if I saw it performed.

Ground breaking and haunting. Almost too difficult to read.

I liked it! Easy read, good points, heartbreaking but not explicitly graphic!

I read this play in an African American Literature course my sophomore year of college, and fell in love. An underrated classic. A beautiful and haunting story illustrating the psychological pain discrimination and racism have on people of color even when their lives may seem alright from the outside.
