Brown Girls

Brown Girls by Daphne Palasi Andreades is the story of all the disparate young women of Queens – lumped together by our society. 

Her writing encompasses all of them, both what all first generation or immigrants from a whole list of countries share and how they are all individual people and cultures. 

Andreades’s story is both universal and specific in a way I have never read before. This is a beautiful book.
