Der Roman taucht tief ein in das Leben einer Gruppe von farbigen Frauen, die in Queens, New York, aufwachsen. Er erzählt von Rassismus, einer Zweiklassengesellschaft und Menschen, die ins Abseits geschoben werden. Aber auch von Frauen, die sich wehren.
Content:
We live in the dregs of Queens, New York, where airplanes fly so low that we are certain they will crush us... This remarkable story brings you deep into the lives of a group of friends--young women of color growing up in Queens, New York City's most vibrant and eclectic borough. Here, streets echo with languages from all over the globe, subways rumble above dollar stores, trees bloom and topple across sidewalks, and the briny scent of the ocean wafts from Rockaway Beach. Here, girls like Nadira, Gabby, Naz, Trish, Angelique, and many others, attempt to reconcile their immigrant backgrounds with the American culture they come of age in. Here, they become friends for life--or so they vow.
